April 1, 2025 - Fiocchi Ammunition, the industry leader in high-performance hunting and shooting sports ammunition, is excited to announce its latest innovation — the Ala-Bama Slama — a revolutionary new centerfire rifle round designed specifically for hardcore, grits-in-your-teeth Southern hunters.

Born from extensive research deep in the heart of the Dixie, the Ala-Bama Slama delivers “barn-burnin’, buck-bustin’, boar-wallopin’ ballistic performance” like nothing else on the market. Engineered with a proprietary blend of Italian precision and Southern-fried firepower, this round boasts an exclusive “Grit-Grip Coating™” that ensures flawless cycling — even with a belly full of biscuits and gravy.

“This here round got some real thump to it,” said Cletus “Bubba” Ledbetter, an avid hunter and the first field tester of the Ala-Bama Slama. “I done shot a twelve-point from so far away I had to check Google Maps to make sure I still wuz in the same county. My granddaddy always said, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ But I tell ya what…if it is broke, this here bullet’ll fix it right up fer good.”

The Ala-Bama Slama will initially be available in .30-06, .308, and .270 Win, with a special .45-70 variant dubbed the “Mud Boat Magnum” coming later this year for those who believe deer hunting should feel more like a Civil War reenactment.
