A Brief History
In 2017, motorcycle manufacturer Jesse James partnered with Ammo Inc. to buy out a failing ammuntion company in Arizona. The company was rebranded under James' name and included a number of calibers and bullet types. To date, it appears that the Jesse James line of ammuntion from Ammo Inc. has been discontinued.
