Setpoint Ammunition,a subsidiary of Setpoint Systems Inc., today announced the completion of an OEM distribution agreement with Berger Bullets of Fullerton, CA. Berger Bullets is a well-known world-leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance ballistic projectiles for hunting, sporting and tactical shooting applications. The agreement allows Setpoint Ammunition to offer a selection of Berger's precision bullets for use in their custom cartridges sold on their setpointammo.com website.

The Setpoint Ammunition ordering and manufacturing process is revolutionary in that it allows customers to dictate the case, projectile, powder load and overall length of the cartridge via the online ordering system. This unique process gives consumers the ability to fine tune their ammunition to fit their specific firearm and application, assuring the best performance possible.

The order is relayed from the website to the manufacturing facility, where fully-automated machines (designed and built especially for Setpoint Ammunition by Setpoint Systems,) load and assemble the cartridges to high levels of precision. By mechanizing the entire loading process, precision and consistency are maximized while labor costs are minimized. The final outcome is affordable, reliable, high-performance ammunition available in one box or more.

"The agreement with Berger Bullets allows us to offer some of the best projectiles available for use in our precision ammunition," said Brad Angus, President of Setpoint Ammunition. Angus went on to say that this agreement has been anticipated for some time. "Teaming with Berger has always been one of our goals. When you combine the well-known reputation of Berger Bullets with the unprecedented precision that we've built into our ammunition loading process, you get the best custom rifle ammunitionavailable on the commercial market today."

Setpoint Ammunition will initially offer three Berger Bullets projectiles for use in their 7.62MM/308 WIN cartridges:


155 grain Match Hybrid
185 grain Long Range BT
168 grain Match Hunting VLD 

Combined with the projectiles already offered by Setpoint, this brings their selection total to nine for their 7.62MM/308 WIN cartridges.
