Garrett Cartridges is a family-run business now owned and operated by Ashley Emerson, specializing in custom-quality 44 Magnum, 45 Long Colt, 454 Casull and 45-70 ammunition for those in pursuit of, or defending from, large and dangerous game. This reflects a compelling interest in producing the best ammo possible regardless of production inefficiencies or costs. We hand-cast all of our Hammerheads from custom Hensley & Gibbs blocks and some clones possessing cavities of our own design, using a special high-performance alloy (mixed to our specifications) with exceptional impact integrity. We are the only builders in the industry to take such an approach. As a consequence, our production is limited and the costs of our offerings are considerable. However it is our view that when a hunter is in pursuit of a trophy or determined to defend himself from dangerous game, only the finest ammo should be deployed. Given the substantial costs common to hunting trips, and the obvious value of human life, we believe that any attempt to economize at such critical times is simply ill advised. Consequently we leave it to others to build budget ammo.
Our ammunition is used by experienced hunters to harvest all the major species hunted on the planet. It is also widely used by professional hunters and government agencies, such as NOAA, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Grizzly Bear Team of the state of Wyoming, and the state of Montana for the protection of field personnel.
We hope you will spend some time perusing our website as it contains a wealth of explanatory commentary from us as well as many compelling reports from various industry notables and experienced hunters. Our products do exactly what we say they do, and we willingly put our reputation on the line with regards to their performance. Our ammo quite simply defines us, and redefines our favorite calibers.
