CorBon is the leader in high velocity ammunition, generating maximum performance from every loading. CorBon is proud of this reputation and is willing to put that velocity right on the box. These are real velocities, from real guns - not just test barrels. Every company has to have a niche in the marketplace. Peter Pi, the founder of CorBon, decided that someone had to be the best and built his company around that idea.

The faster a bullet is traveling, the more energy created. Energy developed at the muzzle must be transferred or "dumped" into the target to be effective. Energy transfer is aided by bullet expansion. The higher the velocity, the more rapidly the expansion - the more rapid the expansion, the more effectively the energy is expended in the target. This explosive expansion dumps the available energy quickly, creating tremendous shocking power and causing the perpetrator to cease doing further harm, thus STOPPING POWER. Stopping power means safety.

Hollowpoints that are moving too slow, or limit energy transfer with a "controlled expansion" design can over penetrate - going straight through with little effect. Energy that passes through the selected target is wasted energy and can cause harm to unintended persons or property. Your intent is to STOP the aggressor that is bent on doing harm to you. Regardless of the situation, you will have to account for your actions and every round that is fired.

Don't be misguided by those who claim their bullets have some magical or mystical performance advantage, or that they can make a reduced power load with increased performance.

There continues to be a misconception that a heavier bullet somehow has more energy and that a long deep wound channel is necessary. That may be true in a hunting bullet, but in close quarters combat, the trade of less weight and added velocity is a positive increase in energy. Energy is energy and if effectively transferred into the target - it does not matter whether it is energy from a 9mm or a .45 ACP.

CorBon ammunition is tested against common barriers. When shot through four layers of heavy material, (including leather) the CorBon bullets retain adequate velocity to reliably expand. Tests against windshield glass and car doors proved that the high velocity CorBon bullets did not deflect from their intended path and still expanded well into a gelatin medium. Car doors and windshields are no barriers to CorBon high velocity ammunition.

Tactical Rifle

CorBon Tactical Operations Ammunition is a cut above the norm. Pin-point accuracy and explosive expansion assures that any encounter is concluded effectively. CorBon loads the ever popular 223REM with a Sierra 55gr BlitzKing {polymer-point} that has been highly effective where long-range critical placement shots are mandatory. This is not reloaded military ammo in a clean box.

Your options include a new 223REM 40gr BlitzKing {polymer-point} that combines super flat trajectory with utterly final terminal ballistics. The protected point bullet is near ricochet proof. It has a very high velocity of 3800 fps and pin-point accuracy. For tactical use in close quarter urban environments it provides an added level of performance and reduces over penetration.

CorBon also makes available finely tuned .308 WIN tactical loads with 125gr JHP bullets. This precision manufactured hollow point bullet is extremely accurate, super effective, and require less sight adjustment due to a very flat trajectory. The 125gr JHP or 168 HPBT is up to any task that the tactical shooter would ask of it.

300 Whisper This unique and versatile cartridge can be used as low recoil pistol load or as an urban defense rifle. The 125gr JHP self-defense or varmint load is moving out at 2100fps, the 150gr JSP at 2000fps is an effective deer hunting load. For special suppressed tactical operations, the 220gr load is just the ticket.

Test results conducted by writers, law enforcement agencies and ballistic experts confirm the effectiveness of CorBon ammunition. Pick up almost any gun magazine and you will see the CorBon loads going head-to-head with the larger manufacturers  and coming out on top. In the latest book published by Evan Marshall & Ed Sanow, they investigate actual police encounters and determine the effectiveness of the bullet used. They rate the stopping power of the CorBon loads as top in nearly all their representative groups. Marshall states "If you're serious about self-defense, you should carry serious ammunition. As far as the authors are concerned, COR-BON is the most serious ammo of all .

GUN*TESTS Magazine (which takes no advertising) reported in its Aug. 1996 edition on Handgun Ammunition that in reference to CorBon's 9mm/115gr JHP, "This is, without a doubt, the most effective self-defense ammunition we have ever tested &.Its cavity in the gelatin was twice the size of its nearest 9mm competitor".

POWERHOUSE LOADS FOR THE 454 CASULL

The mighty 454 Casull was envisioned by Dick Casull over 40 years ago. His desires for the ultimate power in a pistol capable of handling pressures in excess of all the common rifle cartridges lead directly to the superb Freedom Arms Single Action revolver. CorBon s heavy bullet 454 Casull loads exceed the power delivered by the legendary buffalo guns of old.

CorBon loads six different powerhouse loads for this highly popular cartridge. Astute big game hunters choose the bonded-core bullets in either the 265gr or 285gr loads for their flat trajectory and excellent stopping power. The 300gr Jacketed Soft Point is the pick for closer game in heavy brush where the flat trajectory is not mandatory.

For very large and dangerous game CorBon offers three heavyweight loads. The 320gr and the 360gr Penetrator bullets have been used around the world on everything that can be taken with a handgun. The hallmark of these loads is unparalleled penetration combined with bone smashing power.

The 454Casull is a cartridge that is here to stay. Other manufacturers are making guns to handle the power and CorBon has the power demanded.

The 44 Magnum has 40 years of hunting experience under its belt. It is the hunting caliber from which all others are judged. CorBon loads a full lineup to meet any situation. There are lots of companies providing loads for this cartridge. CorBon takes the 44 Magnum seriously.

The light and super fast 180gr JHP and the 240gr JHP are the ticket for varmints, small game and light deer. The 260gr and 280gr Bonded-Core loads are the pick of the litter for serious deer hunting with a handgun. They do their job with authority and are about as good of an all-around combination as you are going to find. If your deer hunting includes big bucks, elk or even moose, these loads give you the extra range and flat trajectory necessary of tough hunting situations. These bullets are not just good - there as good as you can get. The design allows the lead to roll out into a tissue-tearing mushroom. These are exceptional loads that can be carried for almost any situation.

The 300gr Jacketed Soft Point bullet is the choice for closer hunting in heavy brush where the range is restricted. The extra heavy weight gives the hunter huge knockdown power for bigger game. Nothing made for the 44 Magnum tops the 305gr Penetrator load for power and penetration against dangerous and hard to stop game. If you live or hang out where the game has big teeth and claws, load your 44 Magnum with the 305gr Penetrators. This is not normally a deer hunting load - this is serious medicine for dangerous critters.

The 320gr Hard-Cast is a super hard lead bullet. It combines superb accuracy with deep penetration and a big time thump from its sharp edge flat point. There is no expansion with this load and is best selected when bone breaking power is needed.

Loaded with one of CorBon s high performance loads; your 44 sixgun is back to the power Elmer Keith envisioned.

CorBon has given the traditional 45 COLT hunting loads worthy of the designation: Magnum. These are true high performance loads with the attached +P as an additional caution. In the appropriate modern hunting pistol, our .45 COLT Magnum loads give near 44 Magnum performance with markedly less recoil.

This is NOT plinking ammo, this load should only be used in those guns that have the steel to handle the power. Guns in .45 COLT that are built on heavy duty frames, such as the Ruger, Freedom Arms, Colt Anaconda, and Thompson-Center Contender will handle this load with authority. This load is NOT intended for handguns such as Smith & Wesson, Colt Single Action Army, or the Colt clones imported single action revolvers. Common sense needs to prevail!

There are those who claim the 357 Magnum is not adequate for killing deer. With our 180gr Bonded-Core bullet you'd better have freezer space ready my friend. Assuming you can shoot straight and take shots well within your ability, this load will kill deer deader than canned tuna. This load performs well on a variety of small to medium sized game and packs enough punch down range to make life very exciting.

Some states put energy restrictions on what is a legal firearm to hunt with. In Colorado, for example the 550 ft/lbs of energy at 50 yards dictates that you use the Penetrator or the 180gr Bonded load. In other states it is 500 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. In this case all of these loads could be used.

The 200 grain Penetrator or its hard-cast cousin are often carried in the sidearm for bear protection while hiking or fishing. They can keep you from being on some large bears dinner menu.

COR-BON loads premium hunting ammunition for several rather esoteric pistol cartridges including the 10mm, 41 Magnum and the .451 Detonics.

The 7.62x39 is loaded with a quality 150gr soft point bullet that can wring out the capabilities of this cartridge and make it a better than average hunting combination.

The 300 Whisper is an amazing cartridge from the fertile mind of JD Jones. It packs a lot of punch from its misleading size and makes an excellent close-range deer gun that is extremely accurate with very, very modest recoil.
