Located along the heart
of the original Chisholm Trail, comes a new kind of ammunition company,
targeting the cowboy action shooting market. Chisholm Cartridge Company wants to
bring cowboy ammo up to a higher level with better consistency and accuracy and
with the same quality as required by IPSC and IDPA shooters.
"We all know that precision
and consistency counts, even for the larger sized cowboy action targets. The
bigger the target, the faster we tend to shoot. Accurate and quality ammunition
is as important for cowboy action shooters as it is for other competitive
shooting sports', says Kevin Estes who has established the ammo company with his
partner Walter Craig, both from Andover, Kansas. Kevin and Walter have over 50
years combined experience in shooting and loading ammunition for competition. It
has taken them 2 years of planning and experimenting to be able to
provide the market with factory ammunition with the accuracy of a hand
load.
