Do you have approved lead-free ammo
for the California condor zone?
Yes. We make a wider variety of
calibers, with multiple bullet styles and weights, than anyone
else using the approved Barnes lead-free bullets. Please read this FAQ and
then visit our Orion page.
What does frangible
mean?
Frangible bullets fragment rather than distort
like lead. They're safer than traditional ammo because:
- Ricochets, shoot-throughs (target), and pass-throughs
(building) are greatly reduced, increasing bystander safety.
- These projectiles are made of powdered copper
and tin, with a binder and lubricant.
- No lead means less environmental damage.
What’s the difference
between Hush and SoftShot?
- In accordance with legal requirements, Hush
is for sale only to law enforcement or military agencies because
handgun calibers can penetrate certain levels of soft body armor.
- Custom tuning to maximize performance in
your weapons is available only in Hush.
- SoftShot usually leaves a residual base,
whereas certain levels of Hush may not.
- SoftShot offers the high performance and
reduced hazard characteristics of Hush, but provides only traditional
performance against soft body armor.
- Because SoftShot is less intensive to manufacture
than Hush, it provides a more economical alternative.
