Texas-based ammunition manufacturer TV Ammo, Inc. (“True Velocity”)
announced today the launch of its composite-cased 5.56x45mm
cartridge, making the company’s advanced, lightweight ammunition
available in the most widely consumed caliber in the U.S.
commercial market.
Beginning in July 2023, True Velocity’s 5.56
round will be available for purchase at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s
retail locations nationwide, as well as online at basspro.com and
cabelas.com.
True Velocity will initially offer the 5.56
cartridge in the following three configurations, with additional
options forthcoming:
- 5.56x45mm (69-grain Sierra MatchKing) – MSRP: $39.99 (20ct
box)
- 5.56x45mm (77-grain Sierra MatchKing) – MSRP: $39.99 (20ct
box)
- 5.56x45mm (55-grain Full Metal Jacket) – MSRP: $24.99 (20ct
box)
True Velocity’s composite-cased ammunition is
designed to offer extensive advantages over traditional brass-cased
ammunition, including exceptional dimensional consistency,
significantly enhanced accuracy, reduced heat transfer, and an
approximate 30 percent reduction in weight over traditional
brass-cased cartridges. The 5.56 line of products will be the first
to be produced with True Velocity’s Generation 3 advanced
manufacturing technology, offering a level of process control,
precision and automation that is unprecedented in the ammunition
industry.
“There are hundreds of millions of rounds of
5.56 ammo consumed in this country every year,” said True Velocity
Chairman and Co-CEO Kevin Boscamp. “We’re extremely excited to make
True Velocity’s composite case technology available to the shooters
who rely on this caliber. I’m confident they will see very quickly
what makes our ammunition superior.”
True Velocity’s introduction of a
composite-cased 5.56x45mm product expands the company’s commercial
line of ammunition, which was initially launched in multiple
configurations of .308 Winchester in July 2021. The company expects
additional new caliber introductions over the next year.
