Updates

New calibers are currently in development and will be announced in the Newsletter within the next few weeks pending further testing.

Material and shipping costs have increased recently and, as previously announced, prices need to be adjusted. Most prices are returning to approximately their original launch levels, while several remain lower. This adjustment is necessary to continue manufacturing the product in the United States.

New production units are now generally available through the Purchase page. Inventory remains limited, but additional products are being manufactured and will appear as available after inspection and packaging.

Part of the Technical Datasheet has been found to be out of date and will be updated as soon as possible. The outdated version has a date-stamp of 2026-01-19, the new one will include a section about changes.

Replacement of the Ram-Shell units from Aluminum-Polymer to Aluminum-Aluminum with a Polyolefin coating has proven to be a successful (see Ram-Shell Aluminum Hull Durability Test), though costly process...

Further testing and investigation have shown that hull breakage can occur for Level 3 Ramsets and higher and where there is excess pressure build-up or where the chamber of the shotgun is oversized.
This is an issue that we will correct for all prior (to today) customers as soon as time and production capabilities allow. Please look out for further communication via email about this within the next week. All current products are thus on sale but current stock will be reworked once a fix has been fully implemented and tested.

Some early reports of hulls breaking have surfaced. It appears that the combination of the blue nylon projectiles together with a #4 Ramset can cause the hull to crack more easily if more than 10 lb of force is applied to insert. Usually this means that the projectile is being pushed more than about 1/4in deep into the hull. This should be rare if the instructions are being followed. Similarly, for shotguns that have a loose bore (Turkish guns seem to be made that way), this can also be more common. Use of the blue rubber projectiles all but prevents this.

The initial release of Ram-Shell products is going well - thank you for your support. Based on popular demand, additional products and accessories will gradually appear in the store as production capacity allows.

If an item is marked Backorder, you can still purchase it. We fulfill backorders as soon as possible, in the order received.
