Black Hills Ammunition

Black Hills Ammunition We supply ammunition to the military, law enforcement, dealers, and firearm manufacturers The Black Hills of South Dakota.

Over 30 years ago, we started with little more than borrowed money and an unwavering commitment to craft by our founders, former police officer Jeff Hoffman and Kristi Hoffman. That dedication follows us to where we are today, supplying all branches of the U.S. military, law enforcement agencies, dealers, and firearm manufacturers nationwide. Every single round of ammunition leaving our factory is

hand-inspected because there are still things around here that refuse to be mass produced, and made to last means made to last. What sculpted the land, channeled the rivers, built the towns, and shaped the people—everything that went into making the Black Hills—goes into everything we make. The place that made the people who make the best ammo on earth.

Black Hills is proud to announce ammunition loaded with the .308 175 Sierra MatchKing X,
a bullet which retains all of the accuracy capability of the standard MatchKing but now
incorporates design modifications to produce superior long range terminal performance.

Point of impact, accuracy, and trajectory are unchanged! The result is match accuracy
plus terminal performance on game.

The trajectory remains the same, so long range shooters who love the legacy 175 MatchKing,
can have the best of both worlds without developing new range tables.

New for 2026- Black Hills 6.5 Creedmoor 142 grain Sierra MatchKing X (MKX)

Black Hills Ammunition is well known for the work we've done in pioneering the 6.5 Creedmoor M1200 military ammunition, building calibers to extend the reach of our Designated Marksmen well past the limitations of 7.62x51 rifles. Now, we bring that accuracy capability to the hunter!

Our friends at Sierra, long known for their MatchKing line have produced new 6.5 projectiles with the same proven geometry and ballistic coefficients, but with
added design features to produce excellent long range terminal results. This is the MatchKing X
(MKX) line.

Black Hills is proud to announce we've added the 6.5 142 grain Sierra MatchKing X to our 2026 6.5 Creedmoor Gold line. A great new option for long range precision and terminal performance. You don’t need to compromise, as this load gives you both precision and game-dropping performance.

The best defensive pistol is the one you have with you. For a non-permissive environment, that may mean you can’t carry your 9mm or .45 ACP. The .32 is a specialized tool that may fit your deep concealment needs. For defensive use with your .32 Auto weapon you need the absolute best performance possible.

The HoneyBadger from Black Hills Ammunition is the answer. The sharp frontal cutting edge makes the projectile efficient at cutting through clothing and tissue to give the pe*******on needed, while the fluted design provides superior tissue disruption without relying on a hollow-point design that can fail at .32 ACP velocities. Leave nothing to chance, the
Black Hills HoneyBadger is your friend when operating in dangerous places!

.300 Norma is one of the most capable long-range cartridges, exceeding both the .338 Norma and the .338 Lapua in both flat trajectory and minimal wind deflection. The round has been proven in the field, to this point, primarily with a 215 grain OTM projectile.

Black Hills has chosen to take that performance a step farther with the 245 Grain Sierra MatchKing. The higher ballistic coefficient of the heavier bullet (G7 B.C. of .412 vs .354) provides superior performance in the wind at all distances.

As precision shooters recognize, wind effect is the biggest challenge to long range shooting, being far less predictable than bullet drop, due to the variables of gusting and changing winds and varied wind angles. When you need the advantage, choose the round that gives you the advantage. That round is the Black Hills .300 Norma Magnum 245 grain Sierra MatchKing.
