NovX Ammunition

The Pentagon line of handgun ammo centers on a monolithic copper hollow point design carefully engineered for controlled opening on impact to maximize penetration while delivering optimal hydrostatic shock.

For over a century brass and lead have been the standard for ammunition. Now, the time has come for brass and lead to step aside.

Enter the extreme-performance of NovX stainless steel case and poly/copper ammunition. The unrivaled performance of exclusive, stainless steel casings is the foundation of NovX ammunition. These stronger, more efficient casings help your pistols and modern sporting rifles deliver performance far exceeding any cartridge you’ve chambered and fired before. Your weapons will perform with increased velocity you can feel with every pull of the trigger. 1,800 fps for the NovX 9mm Luger Engagement: Extreme +P and 4,120 fps for the NovX 223 Remington for close quarters self-defense, competition, and training. You’ll feel more energy, less recoil, and experience faster cycling and reduced fouling. Most importantly, you’ll know you’re shooting the most effective and efficient combination of materials ever engineered.

The new era started with the introduction of 65gr, NovX 9MM Luger +P and standard pressure Engagement: Extreme Self-Defense ammunition and ballistically matched 65gr, NovX 9MM Luger +P Cross Trainer/Competition and standard pressure Cross Trainer/ Competition rounds.

Now, the era moves forward with the introduction of the first 223 Remington stainless steel case and poly/copper cartridge designed for close quarters self-defense engagements, training, and competition. NovX has delivered the most advanced 223 Remington bullet ever, the Tactical: Close Encounter cartridge with unparalleled velocity of 4,123 fps, dramatically reduced recoil, and devastating 1,318 ft-lbs of energy.

At the heart of NovX ammunition is the exclusive, cutting-edge SST Stainless Steel/NAS3 shell casing. Stainless is stronger than brass, delivers more energy to achieve unmatched velocity and power, and is vastly superior across all levels of performance. Instead of energy lost when brass expands and contracts upon firing, the stainless steel case of NovX ammunition generates energy gains through limited expansion, allowing more energy to be directed at driving the projectile forward at previously unattainable velocities. NovX 9mm Engagement: Extreme Self-Defense and .223 Remington Tactical: Close Encounter rounds produce wound channels impossible to achieve with lead and brass.
