7.62mm Cartridges

When it comes to small caliber ammunition acquisition, many instinctively think of large ammunition production companies manufacturing massive quantities of tactical and training ammunition. For the five years since 2010, the production levels of the 7.62 mm caliber ammunition alone consistently exceeded 160 million rounds annually. Meeting the high-volume production levels for small caliber ammunition is challenging for small companies, to say the least. The Army has taken great strides to partner with small companies to develop small caliber ammunition technologies.
