Welcome to Pittman Bullets!!!

        Pittman Bullets is pleased to announce the new Aeromax® .402" lineup.

These Aeromax® .402's are available in 300, 325 and 350 grain weights. 

Pittman Bullets / Patent #10,921,104

         Muzzleloading has been a passion of mine since I was 10 years old shooting a cap and ball .54 TC Hawken. Back then I thought I had the best equipment available, and probably did, but as time went on I upgraded to several in-lines along the way before taking the leap into smokeless in 2014. Since Pittman Bullets began on January 1st of 2016, I have always strived to offer the best bullets that I possibly can for High - Performance Muzzleloading. The AccuMax .452" was the flagship design of Pittman Bullets. This design has been proven in the field and on paper for several years now. Many improvements and new offerings have been made along the way with the introduction of the Aeromax®​ .452's, AccuMax .402's and Aeromax® .402's. These bullets have opened the doors for many looking to shoot at extended ranges previously not even considered. One particular aspect that I have been focused on is improving the tightness and engagement of the tips for the AccuMax and Aeromax series. This has been a top priority with a lot of head scratching, hair pulling, tossing and turning to offer a better bullet to send down range. On October 28th 2019 my patent lawyer filed a utility patent on my behalf for a " Rotation Inhibited Projectile Tip". I am pleased to announce that my patent application with The United States Patent and Trademark Office was granted and published on February 16th 2021, Patent #10,921,104. Mission Accomplished!! Going forward, bullets utilizing this patented technology will be packaged and labeled accordingly. All bullets offered by Pittman Bullets going forward will utilize this exclusive patented technology.

Thank You,

Kyle Pittman

     This is a group I shot on 7/17/2021 at the Dead Zero gun range in  Spencer, TN. I was shooting my custom heavily built .40 bolt gun with the 325 Grain Aeromax® .402" version 1's. The distance was 1000 yards, 3 shot group, .29 MOA center to center - which is 3.036". Amazingly, the average impact velocity at 1000 yards for this group was 1584 fps with a standard deviation of 13.3 on impact!! 1811 foot pounds average of Kinetic Energy on impact!!! This is the best group I have shot at 1000 with any rifle to date.

"J.C." from New Jersey traveled down to the Kentucky Challenge in the Spring of 2024 and set a new 400 yard group record at .889" ! J.C. was shooting the Pittman Bullets Aeromax .452" 325 grain. Congratulations J.C. !!!!

This was the 400 yard group I shot during the match at the Kentucky Challenge on 8/08/2020. The group measures .916" center to center, (.219 MOA) and was shot with my custom built .40 and Pittman Aeromax® .402" 350 grain prototype bullets.  This was the 400 yard Kentucky Challenge record until 3/18/2024. "J.C." from New Jersey is now the new 400 yard record holder at .889". "J.C." was shooting the Pittman Bullets Aeromax .452" 325's.

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" center to center, (.065 MOA). Conditions were absolutely perfect with no wind, no mirage and no glare. Distance was 400 Yards - Pittman Aeromax® .402" 325 Grain version 1's.

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!!!
