BOAZ Ammo manufactures ammunition at their facility in Watauga, Tennessee. In July 2025, they became an official USPSA Certified Ammunition Vendor, meaning their loads have been tested and verified to meet advertised power factors. This certification matters if you're running USPSA matches—your ammunition will pass chronograph verification without delays.
BOAZ produces multiple 9mm loads at different grain weights:
| Grain Weight | Bullet Type | Price | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 115gr | CMJ (PCC optimized) | $61.00 | Pistol Caliber Carbine |
| 124gr | FMJ | $61.10 | Standard training load |
| 135gr | CMJ or JHP (NEW) | $63.90–$56.00 | Mid-weight option |
| 137gr | TPJ | $63.90 | USPSA certified |
| 147gr | CMJ or TPJ | $64.10 | Heavy subsonic-range load |
| 160gr | TPJ | $65.95 | Maximum grain weight |
Their 115gr load is most comparable to standard factory ammunition from major brands. BOAZ also offers sampler packs that typically include 137gr TPJ and 147gr TPJ for shooters testing different loads.
Currently manufacturing .223 Remington in 75gr BTHHP (Boat Tail Hollow Point). They accept special orders for 55gr FMJ. They also carry Federal American Eagle .223 55gr in 300-count boxes ($129.00) for shooters wanting established brands.
Beyond their house brand, BOAZ stocks: - Federal American Eagle (.223 and pistol) - Sellier & Bellot (9mm Luger 115gr FMJ, 500-count boxes at $113.99)
This is where BOAZ's approach differs. They publish an explicit shipping optimization strategy: it typically costs the same to ship 3 bags of 9mm as 1 bag. This means buying 600 rounds (3 x 200) can cut your per-round shipping cost from ~5 cents to ~2 cents.
Their recommendation: Adjust your cart quantity by 1-2 bags and re-quote shipping to find the sweet spot between quantity and cost. The math works because fixed shipping weight plateaus.
Insured shipping available. Orders can be quoted via USPS with insurance options.
To declare BOAZ ammo at a USPSA match:
1. Fill out the Certified Ammo Declaration form at registration 2. Provide 8 sample rounds at the chronograph 3. Reference the Lot# from your ammunition label (also visible in your order notes when logged in)
BOAZ maintains lot number records and submits new samples annually (they changed their submission process in January 2026 for year-by-year certification).
"Certified ammunition provides a little insurance when you visit the chronograph station, since this ammunition has been tested by the vendor and by USPSA to ensure that it makes the advertised power factor." — NROI website
