Every box of EcoBullet ammunition is a step toward safer shooting and a healthier planet. Here is how we are making a difference.
Standard ammunition primers contain lead styphnate, a compound that aerosolizes upon ignition and releases microscopic lead particles into the air. These particles are inhaled by the shooter and anyone nearby, entering the bloodstream through the lungs.
The CDC has identified indoor firing ranges as one of the top sources of lead exposure for adults in the United States. Studies show that regular shooters have blood lead levels up to 3 times higher than non-shooters. Even at levels once considered "safe," lead exposure is associated with neurological damage, kidney problems, cardiovascular issues, and reproductive harm.
With the growing popularity of ported barrels in modern pistols, hot gases are vented upward directly into the shooter's breathing zone, making this problem even worse. The CDC's current reference value for blood lead in adults is 3.5 micrograms per deciliter. Many recreational shooters exceed this after just a few range sessions with standard ammunition.
EcoBullet eliminates this risk entirely. Our primers contain zero lead compounds. Zero airborne lead particles. Zero accumulation in your blood.
Standard primers release lead particles with every shot. Our lead-free primer compound provides identical ignition reliability with zero toxic byproducts. Safe for indoor ranges, safe for you.
Our decision to go lead-free is backed by decades of CDC research on occupational and recreational lead exposure. We are not guessing. We are following the science.
Range employees face the highest exposure levels. Many indoor ranges are moving to lead-free-only policies. EcoBullet ammunition is designed to exceed these requirements.
Brass is one of the most recyclable metals on earth. Yet the ammunition industry continues to rely heavily on virgin brass, requiring energy-intensive mining and refining operations that generate significant carbon emissions and environmental disruption.
EcoBullet uses 100% recycled brass for our casings. This reduces energy consumption by up to 95% compared to virgin brass production, eliminates the need for new copper and zinc mining, and diverts material from landfills.
Recycled brass performs identically to virgin brass in ammunition applications. Same strength, same consistency, same reliability. The only difference is the environmental impact, which is dramatically lower.
We track and offset every gram of carbon dioxide generated by our manufacturing, packaging, and logistics operations. Our offsets are verified annually by independent auditors.
Every stage of our production process is measured and offset, from raw material processing through final quality inspection.
We calculate and offset the carbon footprint of every shipment, from our facility to your door.
Independent third-party auditors verify our carbon offset calculations every year. Transparency is not optional for us.
Every component is traceable to its source. We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility.
We believe the shooting community and conservation community share the same goal: preserving wild places for future generations. That is why a portion of every EcoBullet sale goes directly to habitat restoration and carbon sequestration programs.
Our conservation partners focus on restoring forests, wetlands, and grasslands across the United States. These projects not only sequester carbon but also restore wildlife habitat, protect watersheds, and support biodiversity in areas impacted by industrial activity.
In states like California, Oregon, and Washington, outdoor ranges deposit lead into soil and groundwater, impacting condor habitats and watersheds. By choosing lead-free ammunition, you are directly reducing the toxic load on these ecosystems.
Funding forest, wetland, and grassland restoration projects across the United States to rebuild ecosystems and sequester carbon.
Supporting programs that prevent lead and heavy metal contamination from entering waterways near outdoor ranges and hunting areas.
Contributing to programs that protect species affected by lead contamination, including California condors and bald eagles.
