Xmetal Targets - Visit and Ammunition Sneak Peak

Hammunition... Beware ISIS, the real stuff is coming!! :)

Gotta love the French accent. I for one regularly throw H and S all over the place and forget them when necessary.

Great video Étienne. If your ammos are the same top notch quality as your targets, you've got it made. BTW, what coating are you using for the cast bullets?

If pig blood, "hammunition" is fully justified.
 
I had a chance to shoot both their 9mm and 5.56 preproduction ammo. Both worked great. I was very impressed with the 9mm. I tried it in four different pistols with no issues. The 5.56 was also flawless. I need to test out the last few round for serious accuracy. So far so good. I look forward to putting more round down range soon.
 
I love supporting Canadian manufacturers...as long as the price is right and with American stuff at a premium it shouldn't be hard. Thanks Xmetal
 
Information about the coating of our bullets

The Hi-Tek Heat Set Supercoat was developed specifically for commercial bullet casters to provode reloaders with a cast bullet that didn't smoke and gum up reloading dies like a traditional wax lubed bullet. Properly applied the coating molecularly bonds to the lead, encasing the entire projectile in a protective shell that is self-lubricating. This proprietary coating contains no PTFE or Moly.

What this means to you? No messy wax lubes that smoke, gums up your reloading dies or bullet feeders. Since the bullet is totally encapsulated, it also greatly reduces your exposure to lead. Cleaner hands, cleaner guns and cleaner air are all benefits of the Hi-Tek Supercoat.

In use in it's native Australia for over 20 years. Hi-Tek Supercoat was introduced to the U.S. several years ago. It's been an overwhelming success by both commercial and home casters alike.

A little something to let you think about

From what you read you now know that this coating is not a powder coat.

But there is nothing better than seen that from your own eyes right?

On a regular basis during our process of quality inspection we do a test to make sure that we have the best product for our client. The picture speak for it self don't you think?

You mention .338 lapua mag - Will these be coated with the Hitek supercoat too? If so, what sort of velocity limitations do you have with it over conventional jacketing?
 
That coating looks awesome! Lead exposure is always on my mind, and yet I'm not willing to pay for premium jacketed 9mm ammo. This stuff sounds PERFECT! If you are able to keep prices around the $300 per case of 1000, you'll sell these by the million!

Manufacturing is tricky business when competing against huge factories. I really hope you are able to pull it off!

One other question - are you planning to use the same bullet making process for your rifle rounds? Any idea what kind of accuracy we could expect from it? I'm guessing around 2 to 3 MOA?
 
As soon as we can get our hands on some of their ammo, we will be doing a video review and comparison of accuracy versus other factory ammo. (we are the ones that did the video for this thread)

Wow! No flaking at all! Very impressive looking coating. Will you be selling these bullets separately by the 1000 or only in your manufactured ammo?

Either way I'll be trying them out for sure, gotta support the Canadian companies out there. Especially the ones in the ammo making biz!
 
The coating is a unique way of keeping down costs..Copper jacketing is not cheap!

Towards the end we saw a packaged product, that looks to further reduce costs.

You might even consider bulk boxes of 1000, as many guys (myself included) would be fine with that if it saved us a few dollars. Personally, I open a case of 9mm/45acp/223 and open all the boxes and dump all the ammo into ammo cans. One of my pet peeves is dealing with all the packaging and the fact that all those branded boxes and plastic trays factor into the final cost. I want ammo, not garbage! :)

Even if you don't go the bulk package route, your plastic tray packaging eliminates 2/3 of the garbage and maybe makes the actual case smaller in size to reduce shipping expenses.

Overall, it looks great.
 
I would like to buy canadian made ammunition if the price is good.

I'm very inerested by the .223 and 9mm.

If you ever make some .45acp, i'm sure that would be also very popular.
