Third-party live-fire testing confirms substantial velocity gains; production is underway with expected availability in August 2026. Eubank, KY (July 2026) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, today announced the completion of independent live-fire testing for its .50 BMG NAS3™ case, with results confirming significant velocity and performance advantages over standard brass at standard operating pressures. The .50 BMG NAS3 case was developed to meet the demanding performance and logistics requirements of military and law enforcement end-users, as well as extreme long-range precision shooters. Production is currently underway, and SST expects the .50 BMG NAS3 case to be available for purchase on its website in August 2026. Testing was conducted by Vairog US, LLC on March 31, 2026, using a 650-grain Ball projectile, WC860 propellant, and a CCI No.35 primer in a 28-inch barrel. At a 265-grain powder charge and 66,770 PSI, the SST NAS3 case produced 3,111 feet per second. For reference, standard brass-cased M33 Ball ammunition typically produces approximately 2,910 FPS. Testing was conducted across nine charge weights ranging from 245 to 285 grains, with zero primer or case failures recorded throughout. The velocity advantage is a direct function of NAS3case architecture.…
