Frequently Asked Questions

TMJ stands for Total Metal Jacket. Unlike FMJ, which leaves the base exposed, TMJ bullets are completely encased in copper, including the base. This eliminates lead vaporization when fired.

FMJ leaves the bullet base exposed, causing lead vaporization on firing. TMJ encases the entire bullet, including the base, in copper. Both perform similarly for training, but TMJ is significantly cleaner and safer.

Yes. Our TMJ construction fully encases the base, significantly reducing lead vapor. Combined with lead-free primers, EcoBullet is one of the cleanest training rounds for indoor use.

Yes. We use recycled brass cases that are fully reloadable, inspected and processed to SAAMI specifications.

CPR (Cost Per Round) is a standard metric used to compare value across different box sizes and products: box price divided by round count. For example, a box of 50 rounds at $19.99 = $0.40/round. Comparing CPR is the most honest way to evaluate ammunition value, rather than comparing box prices that vary by round count.

We ship direct to your door in 40 states via UPS or FedEx Ground. Three states require delivery to a licensed dealer (California, New York, Massachusetts). Four ship direct once your state card is on file (Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island). Colorado ships direct with an ID check at delivery. We cannot ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, D.C., or the city of Chicago. Full details are in our state-by-state shipping guide; costs and transit times are on the Shipping & Returns page.

In most states, no. California, New York, and Massachusetts require ammunition to go through a licensed dealer. Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Rhode Island ship direct once we have your state card or permit on file. This is state law, not a federal requirement.

DTC means we ship ammunition straight to your door, without a pickup at a gun store. Most states allow DTC ammo purchases. In restricted states, orders are routed through a licensed FFL dealer, who handles the transfer to the end buyer.

You must be at least 21 years of age to order from EcoBullet, and you must not be prohibited by law from purchasing or possessing ammunition. An adult signature may be required at delivery. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.

EcoBullet offsets the carbon footprint of our manufacturing and logistics operations through verified carbon offset credits. This covers the energy used in brass processing, shipping emissions, and facility operations. The net carbon impact of producing and delivering our ammo is zero. Our use of recycled brass also reduces the energy needed versus smelting virgin copper and zinc.

EcoBullet was founded and is majority-owned and operated by military veterans, based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Supporting EcoBullet means supporting veteran entrepreneurship and a business built on the values of precision, accountability, and service, to customers and to the environment alike.
