Current State of AMMO Technology

[Target Sports USA]

The recent arrival of AMMO Additive Manufacturing for Munitions and Ordnance has begun by "dipping its toes" into traditional caliber spaces, like 9mm, .22, .380, .45 ACP, 12 gauge, .357 MAG, 7.62, and .223. These calibers form the basis for many of the ammunition available to military and civilians, from small arms cartridges to shotgun shells and rifle rounds.


The integration of AMMO technologies into their production processes demonstrates great potential for appreciable advancements in ammunition design and performance, as well as in manufacturing efficiency. Manufacturing techniques in additive engineering are highly precise and flexible. They have already proven to be very useful in the development of increasingly complex internal geometries of bullets and cartridge casings that can aid in improving ballistic performance and material efficiency.

Interesting. Thanks for info. Have reloaded ammo since my youth. Until recently did not care much for .223 and 9mm firearms. Thought they were very high speed but puny in weight. But popularity of them made me take a careful 2nd look, learned that with careful selection of heavier bullet weight, both are serious hunting and self defense tools. Currently loading 5.56x45 with 70 gr semi spitzer and 9mm with a couple of types of 147 gr bullets. So I am a solid convert. I'm not young, but still love shooting.
