Cartridge Laboratory BespokeGun
We offer individually selected cartridges manufactured in our own laboratory. The ammunition as part of the BespokeGun shooting complex guarantees extreme accuracy.
- A comprehensive controlled assembly process from case sorting and powder weighing to finished ammunition gauging
- Precision of the loading processes ensured by precision equipment
- Selection of ammunition with characteristics that best match the shooter's needs
A weapon is only as good as the ammunition used in it. BespokeGun offers its customers perfectly crafted, hand-assembled high-precision cartridges, with preliminary case preparation, sorting by bullet and case weight. The customer can order the required quantity of cartridges at any time, receive the final recipe for self-reloading, and subsequently adjust it to account for barrel wear (burnout).
Examples of work performed:
BespokeGun high-precision ammunition on turned .338LM cases
