— 002 / ABOUT

Built on engineering. Measured by consistency. Delivered with conviction.

Carson Cartridge is a U.S. manufacturer of precision ammunition components and match-grade cartridge products. We partner with shooters, OEM brands, and defense programs who need predictable performance at scale.

Every component begins with engineering. Tolerances are defined before tooling. Inspection happens in-process, not at the end. The result is ammunition that performs the same on round one as it does on round one million.

Engineering-First
Tolerances defined by ballistic intent
In-Process QC
Continuous verification, not batch checks
Lot Traceability
Full chain of custody on every component
— 004 / PROCESS

Six stages. Zero compromises.

Every cartridge moves through a controlled workflow designed for repeatability — not for speed.

  1. STAGE / 01

    Raw Materials

    Certified brass, lead, copper alloys verified at intake.

  2. STAGE / 02

    Precision Machining

    Cases formed, drawn, and annealed to dimensional spec.

  3. STAGE / 03

    Inspection

    Optical and dimensional metrology at every stage.

  4. STAGE / 04

    Testing

    Ballistic chronograph and pressure verification per lot.

  5. STAGE / 05

    Verification

    Statistical process control signs off the lot.

  6. STAGE / 06

    Packaging

    Climate-stable packaging with lot-level traceability.

— PHILOSOPHY
"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low pricing is forgotten."
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
— 006 / QUALITY CONTROL

Tolerance matters.

Performance under pressure is engineered upstream. Every component is verified dimensionally, optically, and ballistically before it leaves the facility.
