CORBON Allies With Dynamic Research Technologies

CORBON Ammunition of Sturgis, South Dakota is pleased to announce the establishment of a strategic alliance with Dynamic Research Technologies (DRT), headquartered in Grant City, Missouri.

CORBON, known for producing some of the best ammunition in the world, is now offering the revolutionary, lead- free, accurate, long-range, frangible DRT round. The DRT bullet has been used by Special Government Agencies for over ten years, and now it will be available in the most popular CORBON law enforcement, self-defense, and hunting loads.

"Our decision to align with DRT was based on the growing need for lead-free ammunition and the remarkable performance of the DRT bullet" said Peter Pi, Sr., President of CORBON Ammunition. "The current trend across the United States is to pass legislation banning leaded ammunition. We're staying ahead of that curve by offering the ultimate lead-free round."

"Reputation and performance made CORBON the logical choice", said John Worrell, President of DRT. Worrell explained that the bullet core will consistently fragment and inflict different degrees of damage on a target as it is comprised of powdered metal. The DRT bullet is encased in a copper jacket that opens when the bullet strikes fluid, exposing the bullet core, which disperses on penetration to create a massive wound cavity. Centrifugal force built up on the backside of the bullet triggers fragmentation as the bullet is halted by soft tissue. The DRT core, which is protected by 29 patents, is compressed, not bonded or sintered like other frangible bullets on the market.

Both men believe this is the perfect round for law enforcement officers to carry. The rifle bullets are very accurate at ranges exceeding 1000 yards with deep, effective penetration. In addition, ricochet injury to innocent bystanders is reduced as the bullet will not pass through the intended target.
