No Frills. Just Quality.

- One round, twice
How it’s made
Three checks. Every batch.
Pressure tested
Every batch of brass is pressure tested before it is loaded.
Twice inspected
Two-stage visual inspection. Anything that does not pass does not ship.
Then polished
Every round polished before it is packaged.
What it runs in
No guesswork.
5.56 NATO chamber
Carbines, mid-length and rifle gas. Anything marked 5.56 NATO or .223 Wylde runs every rifle load we make.
Check your twist rate before you buy the 77 grain.
Twist rate
The 77 grain HPBT needs a 1:8 or 1:7 twist barrel to stabilise. In a 1:9 it will still fire, but it will not shoot its best and may keyhole. Most modern AR-15 barrels are 1:8 or 1:7 — it is stamped on the barrel.
5.56 NATO vs .223 Remington
5.56 NATO is loaded to higher pressure than .223 Remington. A 5.56 or .223 Wylde chamber safely fires both. A chamber marked .223 Remington only should be fed .223 Remington only.
Loaded in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
Every case starts as someone else’s brass.
We pressure test it, inspect it twice, and send it out better than it came in.
