Applied Ballistics Chooses the Corbin Reign ACE Series for Comprehensive Testing
In the world of precision airgun shooting, ballistic coefficient (BC) is everything. It determines how efficiently a projectile cuts through the air, how much it drifts in the wind, and how accurately it can be predicted at extended ranges. When Applied Ballistics — the gold standard in exterior ballistic research and testing — selected a slug to run through their rigorous multi-test evaluation program, they chose the Corbin Reign (ACE) series.
The results were nothing short of extraordinary. The Corbin Reign (ACE) slugs not only achieved the highest ballistic coefficient ever recorded in their PCP slug testing program, but they were also rated as the most consistent PCP slug Applied Ballistics has ever tested. That's a statement that speaks for itself.
What Is Applied Ballistics and Why Does Their Testing Matter?
Applied Ballistics, founded by Bryan Litz, is widely regarded as the most rigorous and scientifically credible ballistics research organization in the world. Their Doppler radar-based live-fire testing protocols are used by competitive long-range shooters, military units, and manufacturers worldwide. When Applied Ballistics validates a projectile, it carries enormous weight in the shooting community.
For Applied Ballistics to select the Corbin Reign (ACE) for their testing — and for that slug to come out on top in both BC and consistency — is a landmark achievement for Corbin and for the entire precision airgun industry.
The Corbin Reign ACE Series: Built for Long-Range PCP Performance
The Corbin Reign (ACE) is engineered from the ground up for PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) airguns. Every dimension, alloy specification, and profile has been optimized using decades of bullet-swaging expertise that Corbin has refined since 1975. The ACE series features:
- Highest BC aerodynamic profile ever tested — designed specifically to minimize drag and maximize stability in airgun velocity ranges
- Industry-leading consistency — dimensional tolerances so tight that Applied Ballistics noted uniformity levels they had never seen in a PCP slug
- Precision-swaged construction — crafted using Corbin's proprietary swaging process for unmatched weight and diameter consistency shot to shot
- Multi-caliber availability — available across popular PCP airgun calibers to serve hunters and long-range airgun competitors alike
Why BC and Consistency Are the Two Most Important Metrics
In long-range airgun shooting, a high BC means the slug sheds velocity more slowly, resists wind drift more effectively, and delivers more predictable trajectories at distance. But BC alone isn't enough — even a high-BC slug that varies in weight or diameter from shot to shot will produce inconsistent groups and unpredictable point of impact.
That's why the Applied Ballistics finding is so significant: the Corbin Reign (ACE) excels in both categories simultaneously. Shooters and hunters using the Reign ACE can trust that every single slug out of their barrel will behave identically — no outliers, no fliers, no surprises.
What This Means for PCP Airgun Shooters and Hunters
Whether you're a competitive long-range airgun shooter trying to push the limits of your PCP's effective range, or a hunter who needs first-round impact certainty on game, the Corbin Reign (ACE) series delivers the kind of performance that previously didn't exist in the airgun slug market. Applied Ballistics' independent validation removes any doubt: these are the highest-performing, most consistent PCP slugs ever tested by one of the world's most respected ballistic laboratories.
Corbin: 50+ Years of American-Made Precision
Corbin Manufacturing has been producing precision projectiles and swaging equipment for over five decades.
