Fresh to the ammunition market is the all new Contractor Grade rounds from Blackwater. This ammunition is manufactured with performance and reliability first and features a new unique split case that is very noticeable at first glance. The ammunition has been tested using FBI ballistic standards with extremely high weight retention with its solid copper expanding bullet.
We will be checking some out for testing for sure!
