Welcome to Pittman Bullets!!!

          Pittman Bullets™ was founded to provide hunters and target shooters with top quality bullets for their high -performance muzzleloading rifles. Pittman Bullets has developed a variety of bullets to fit the needs of the high-performance muzzleloader shooter. All of these bullets have been made possible through Kyle Pittman's extensive research, design and testing, made of the highest quality custom made components without compromise. 

          Pittman Bullets launched its first bullet design on January 1st of 2016, The AccuMax .452". Fourteen deer were taken across the country in the Fall of 2015 from 50 to 433 yards. All Harvests were one shot one kill. Most fell in their tracks, with the longest recovery about 80 yards. The AccuMax .452" series is a proven, accurate, target and long range hunting bullet designed to anchor game in it's tracks. Weights offered in this line going forward will be 250, 275, 300 and 325 grains.

          In March of 2017, Pittman Bullets introduced its second bullet design for high - performance muzzleloading, The Aeromax .452". The Aeromax .452" series is for the hunter or target shooter that wants to take muzzleloading to the highest level. Higher ballistic coefficients and exceptional accuracy is what the Aeromax .452" series delivers. Weights offered in this line are 300, 325 and 350 grains. 

          Pittman Bullets teamed up with Hammer Bullets of Montana in 2017 to offer .4005" and .4085" monolithic copper hollow point bullets for those seeking higher ballistic coefficients in a .40 cal design. This offering utilizes Hammer's patented Parabolic Drag Reduction technology, (P.D.R.) that reduces friction in the bore for greater velocity and less pressure. As a result of the design and the proprietary alloy chosen, this line of bullets do not require annealing to be sized through a full-form sizing die, however they certainly can be annealed to enhance terminal performance at lower velocities. The Pittman / Hammer's range in weight from 253 to 322 grains with high ballistic coefficients, excellent penetration and high weight retention.  

          Pittman Bullets first .40 cal, the Accumax .402" was introduced in the Summer of 2017. This bullet is proving to be highly accurate with Blackhorn and with smokeless in approved rifles. The AccuMax .402" are available in 225, 250, 275 and 300 grain weights. Sure to be a game changer for those seeking lower recoil, higher velocity and one flat shooting bullet!!

         Pittman Bullets latest design is the Aeromax .402". The Aeromax .402" are currently available in 312 and 325 grain weights. This bullet may be offered in a 300 grain version, if testing yields favorable results. Doppler radar testing verified a G1 ballistic coefficient of .584 at 3122 fps for the Aeromax .402" 325 grain. The test rifle was custom built by Jeff Hankins of Hankins Custom Rifles in Dry Ridge Kentucky and has a 1 in 13.2" twist .401" - .408" barrel. Bullets were shot with a dry wool wad, smooth formed.

          New for 2019 Pittman Bullets has introduced the Aeromax Hard Core series and reintroduced the AccuMax Hard Core series. The Hard Cores feature the same jackets and tips as the original Aeromax and AccuMax - the only difference being the alloy and hardness of the lead core's construction. This will be another option for hunters looking for less expansion when making closer shots on game. The Aeromax and AccuMax Hard Cores are three grains heavier than the originals of similar weight to allow distinction between the two series.

          Thank You for visiting Pittman Bullets!!!

          More to come folks... Stay Tuned !

 A day at the range, or the hunt of a lifetime... the decision is yours. Pittman Bullets thanks you for your business!!!

This was a group I shot in practice on Friday evening 4-26-2019 in Kentucky. The group was measured by 3 witnesses and agreed to be .271" CTC. Conditions were absolutely perfect with no wind, no mirage and no glare. Distance was 400 Yards. Hankins Custom .40, Pittman Aeromax .402" 325 Grain.

1267 yards is a LONG POKE with a centerfire, let alone a muzzleloader. Yet that was the objective that one of my highly experienced customers set out to do on 9/8/18. He requested a large batch of specific grain weight .402" Pittman AccuMax to be made at 312 grains. Looks like they did fantastic. The 7 shot group appears to be a little less than 8 inches center to center. Absolutely amazing shooting!!!

             "My Hankins Custom .45 rifle and Pittman 275 AccuMax bullets helped me win the NMLRA National Title! I needed a bullet with a good B.C. that would get me good accuracy from 50 to 500 yards. This is a tuff task to complete with the low pressures of black powder and black powder substitutes. That's exactly what I found with Kyle Pittman's AccuMax bullets! The target I'm holding is a record breaking 5X target shot at 200 yards at the NMLRA 2016 Fall Nationals. Thank you Kyle for developing a bullet to fit my needs to win a National Title! "
