Introducing Badlands Munition Co.

Luis from Badlands presented their latest product, which immediately caught my attention. Unlike the typical subsonic rounds most of us are accustomed to pairing with suppressors, Badlands is flipping the script with their high-velocity ammunition, designed to push the boundaries of what tactical shooters expect from their rounds.

The Technical Edge

Badlands isn’t just making any high-velocity ammo; they’re redefining performance standards:

• High Speed: Their new 85gr rounds clock in at a blistering 2,750 feet per second, setting a high  bar for speed in tactical shooting applications.
• Enhanced Ballistic Coefficient: With a BC of 0.41 compared to the 0.38 of standard 77gr rounds, this ammo promises greater accuracy and effectiveness at distances up to 1,000 yards, achieving impressive hit ratios in long-range tests.
• Advanced Casing Design: Utilizing a UTM piston-style casing made from advanced 3.0H materials, Badlands’ ammo can handle higher pressures, ensuring reliability without the risk of overpressure—a common concern with such powerful loads.

A Unique Approach to Manufacturing

What makes Badlands’ ammunition particularly intriguing is their commitment to quality over quantity. Despite having the capacity to produce large volumes:

• Rigorous Quality Control: Each round undergoes individual inspection—far exceeding the industry standard of 10%—ensuring unparalleled consistency and performance.
• American Craftsmanship: Proudly made in the USA using American components, this ammo is as homegrown as it gets, reflecting the company’s dedication to supporting domestic production and engineering excellence.

Anticipating the Market Release

Currently in the final stages of testing across various U.S. states to ensure universal performance, Badlands’ new ammunition isn’t on the market just yet. However, anticipation is building, and they plan to launch it on their website soon, providing an exciting new option for tactical and precision shooters looking to maximize their range and impact.

Looking Forward

The promise of Badlands Munition Co.’s new ammunition offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of shooting sports. I’m eager to get my hands on these rounds for a comprehensive field test to see if they live up to the hype. With such thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail, Badlands is poised to make a significant impact on the ammunition market.
