"Gunwerks is putting a new spin on long range shooting". Bullets need adequate terminal velocity to gaurantee ethical performance on game animals. The traditional approach has been to power long range shots with bigger and bigger cases like the 300 RUM and the 30-378 Weatherby. With the penalty being high recoil and erratic performance in measures of extreme velocity spreads, close range bullet performance, and even barrel life and cleaning.
Gunwerks takes a more scientific view. Rather than the bigger hammer approach, we designed ammunition using standard cases with lower muzzle velocities, but we can deliver more velocity and energy at 1000 yards than the Big Boys! And with half the recoil and cost, and more consistent bullet performance and accuracy.
The secret is the bullet. Using Bergers high ballistic coefficient VLD shape, we out perform the competition with rifles that are pleasant to shoot. This means more practice and better habits—better shooting!
