Welcome to Pittman Bullets!!!

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. Mission Accomplished! None of this would have been possible without the help and input I received from Jeff Hankins, and for that I am truely grateful. 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. 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,

 Pittman Bullets will be hosting a comprehensive class on High – Performance Muzzleloading in Dayton Tennessee on Saturday March 20^th 2021 rain or shine from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This will be held at “The Ridge” shooting range at 11534 Rhea County Highway 27, Dayton TN. 37321. The format will be inside classroom time from 8-12 with a Power Point presentation with questions and answers before lunch. We will break for lunch at Noon and resume at 1:00 PM. I hear there is a good place to eat nearby just a short drive from the range. From 1:00 to 3:00 - classroom time with questions and answers segments, outside range demonstration from 3-5. This class is geared toward those interested with a limited knowledge of high performance muzzleloading. All aspects of high performance muzzleloading will be covered – with sabots and bullet to bore.

THIS IS NOT A MUZZLELOADING SHOOT OR COMPETITION. Attendees are requested not to bring your muzzleloaders in anticipation of getting range time during this class. There will be several different types of high - performance muzzleloaders used for instruction and demonstration in the last 2 hours of the day.             

The class will be capped at 20 first paid  participants, not to include instructors. Cost for those attending is $50.00 by check or postal money order made payable to Pittman Bullets. In the event of cancellation of the class by Pittman Bullets due to circumstances unforeseen, Pittman Bullets will mail out refund payments by check as soon as that cancellation becomes known. Make sure your return address is clearly written on your envelope, especially if different from your check. Send me an email at kyle.pittman@pittmanbullets.com with March 20th in the subject line if you know you are coming. A list of attendees will be kept and updated here at Pittman Bullets for all to see. I look forward to seeing those able to attend.

          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 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" to 13.0" gain twist .401" - .408" Rock Creek 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 the 400 yard group I shot during the match at the Kentucky Challenge on 8/08/2020. The group measures .916" center to center and was shot with my custom built Hankins .40 and Pittman Aeromax .402" 350's. This is the current 400 yard Kentucky Challenge record.

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!!!
