- True Velocity’s Chief Engineering & Development Officer Dr. Ken Overton sits down to discuss just how our industry-disrupting composite-cased technology unlocks internal ballistic capabilities impossible to achieve with legacy brass-cased ammo.
Our proprietary technology allows for unprecedented consistency, efficiency, and accuracy.

Non reloadable/reusable, insanely expensive, hard to find on top of that. Precision handloads with brass cases perform better than most world class shooters can shoot.
I’ll stick with brass, it’s reloadable.
$69.99+ shipping for 20rds of .308 SMK? You guys were supposed to revolutionize the market prices but all you did was conform and gouge.
I have seen multiple reviews and your ammo while sufficient was anything but superior. It in no review I saw grouped as well as generic ammo. Glad to see innovative ammunition design, however being plastic cased doesn’t make it any better (other than maybe heat transfer to be fair). The price was pretty crazy per round as well for your ammo… None of these are game changers outside the case material.
Are you guys owned by Starbucks ?? They charge ridiculous prices also for their products also with very little difference in quality from other brands.
If the technology does not produce more accurate ammo it will either continue to be developed until it does or fade into obscurity. The comments about the cost at this time are a pretty dumb argument. When brass cased cartridge's were first introduced I can assure you they cost substantially more than ball ammo. Granted the increase in accuracy wont be as drastic in this case but still, given time, if its a more accurate, lighter cartridge and finds a place in the military industry the prices will come down over time and then be more affordable for the recreational or hunting market.
Whenever something new is pushed on me I ask "How would this help the government destroy me?"
I will stick with brass. Reloadable and no plastic trash on the ground.
For the cost difference and it not being nearly as accurate as the claims are, I will continue to pay far less for brass and use factory ammo that has produced sub moa groups for me, consistently, at a far less price, and also having the brass cases to reload myself. You are FAR too expensive!!
From what I have seen so far the accuracy is no better than a brass cartridge. In fact I have seen better groupings using brass cartridges.
No matter what happens with NGSW, I think you guys should get a contract to produce ammo for the new .338 MG.
This is bull crap. High end brass is extremely consistent internally, can accomplish single digit SDs, and produce incredibly accurate ammo at less cost. Oh and you can reload it repeatedly to pull even more cost out of it.
This information, until you or someone else produces test criteria and results, is just another manufacturer repping their brand.
The heat transfer part of this is particularly interesting. I notice that the brass from my bolt rifle comes out at barrel temperature and that's just a second or so after firing. In a gas gun, we all know the brass comes out HOT. The energy spent making that brass hot is energy that was NOT used to propel the bullet. We normally don't see this waste in manual actions because the heat transfers through to the barrel/chamber.
🤷🏼♂️
I'd like to see a thermal camera side view of both brass and composite being fired to see the difference in effect of this heat transfer.
I can see this as military application more than civilian, where reloading and resource conservation isn't as much a priority compared to weight savings in transportation and portability. If these things can be reloaded, then perhaps utility in the civilian market will increase.
I had several groups under .5 MOA with factory FGMM (brass) last weekend in my $650 rem 700... If this is more accurate, I'll be surprised, tbh... Pleasantly, but surprised. It's easy to claim accuracy, it's a whole other thing to deliver it millions of rounds on end like Federal does.
Very good news if true. 1/3 the weight, using less powder and running cooler all sound great! I hope it is reloadable as well. Will become much cheaper as the production volume increases. Much better changes than I’d expected. Good work!
Got a jam with this ammo, it was a double feed and the bcg smacked the case and it crushed it and the bullet, case and gun powder went all over the place and into the action of the gun requiring a total break down of the firearm to get it back into working order.
