Ammunition has looked largely the same for over one hundred years. Looks, however, can be extremely deceiving. Inside the tiny capsules, changes in technology are ever-advancing. Bullet design, consistent primers, and better powder have been the focus for many years. True Velocity has turned its attention to the final component of a cartridge and has developed composite-cased ammunition, aiming to leave brass in the past. Now, the composite company’s three 5.56x45mm variations are available to civilians.

Composite-Cased 5.56 Ammunition From True Velocity

Texas-based ammunition manufacturer TV Ammo, Inc. (“True Velocity”) announced today the launch of its composite-cased 5.56x45mm cartridge, making the company’s advanced, lightweight ammunition available in the most widely consumed caliber in the U.S. commercial market.

Beginning in July 2023, True Velocity’s 5.56 round will be available for purchase at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s retail locations nationwide, as well as online at basspro.com and cabelas.com.

True Velocity’s 5.56x45mm ammunition comes in three flavors. It’s available in 55-grain FMJ, 69-grain Sierra MatchKing, and 77-grain Sierra MatchKing. These use CCI #41 primers to start the firing process. The composite-cased ammunition is claimed to have several benefits to brass. True Velocity says the material offers excellent dimensional consistency, enhanced accuracy, reduced heat transfer, and weight savings of about 30 percent.
