  Custom Ammunition  
 

All of RAR custom ammunition is made to order. We do not have ammunition sitting on the shelf for years gathering dust, it is in this way we can guarantee our ammunition is at it's very best when it gets to you. This also allows us to change the load characteristics to tailor you needs, with very little if any at all change in cost. Whether you want a bullet we don't currently offer, a little more speed, or a reduced load for training purposes, it is not a problem. Just give us a shout and we'll be happy to talk with you about it.

 

Our Re-Manufactured line of ammunition is growing very fast. We now offer .45 ACP, 10mm, 9mm, .40 S&W, .400 CorBon, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .308 & .223 all built on once fired brass. As is the case with our new ammunition our re-manufactured ammunition is of the highest quality. Special attention is paid to the brass to ensure that only quality brass is used and meets or exceeds our qualifications before it is placed into service. All sub-standard brass is destroyed and sold off as scrap. Rest assured that we will not cut quality even on our lower priced goods.  

 

Non-Toxic Frangible Ammunition

"The firing of small arms ammunition for training, sport, law enforcement, and military purposes is a major source of environmental pollution. The lead from shot and bullets is a significant environmental and health problem at numerous public, private, and government-operated shooting ranges. Many sites are contaminated with hundreds of tons of lead, the result of years of shooting and target practice. Lead is tainting grounds and water, and is being ingested by wildlife, and has thus become a serious threat to the health and safety of human and animal populations. Indoor ranges pose other serious concerns such as increased lead exposure to the shooter due to the enclosed space and the subsequent need for high capacity ventilation and air filtration systems. Handling of ammunition and contaminated weapons can also produce elevated lead levels in the blood by absorption through the skin.

A non-toxic, all-metal replacement for lead in bullets has been developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Powder metallurgy techniques have been used to produce metal-matrix composite simulants that have properties very similar to those of lead. Bullets are fabricated from mixtures of powdered metals that are simply pressed at room temperature to produce a high-density material. No heat treating or sintering is necessary to
achieve densities and mechanical properties that mimic those of lead and its alloys. Mechanical interlocking and "cold welding" bond the metals together, and can be varied to control the properties of the lead replacement. Bullets can be pressed directly to shape, or "slugs" can be produced that can be swaged into projectiles, with or without jacketing.

Non-lead bullets fabricated employing powder metallurgy simulants have proven to be one-to-one replacements for their lead analogs. Ammunition has been assembled using non-lead bullets and propellant charges matching currently available products. Velocity and chamber pressures were found to be similar to those for the lead-containing projectiles. Accuracy has also been examined and, in many cases, is improved through the use of the non-lead material.

The use of powder metallurgy provides greater flexibility in controlling bullets' properties. Processing conditions, composition, and powder particle size can be used to alter density and impact behavior. The latter is of significant importance in situations where penetration, ricochet, and collateral damage are concerns. The properties of non-lead 
materials can be controlled so that a bullet fragments into small particles upon impacting a hard target, but remains intact when engaging a soft target. A "frangible" bullet is desirable for close-quarters training, and extends response team capabilities in specialized environments. In addition, the density of the material can be varied over a broad range, allowing for new designs and improvements in ballistic performance.

 The EPA has been cracking down on ranges, making them clean up the tons of lead deposited from years of shooting. This is a very expensive procedure, closing down some ranges simply due to the cost. Due to this many ranges, indoor and out, are switching to the "No exposed lead" or "No lead period" rules, and it appears that in the future all ranges will move to similar guidelines.

Our frangible ammunition is leading the way in affordable options to lead based bullets. In many cases frangible ammunition is less expensive to produce based on initial bullet cost and safety to the loader. This allows us to lower the cost of the lead free ammunition making it less expensive to you, the consumer.
