A heavy jacketed, strong and non-fragmenting bullet that ensures controlled expansion. A bonded core provides high weight retention, which results in effective penetration. It is boat-tailed for high ballistic efficiency, which causes a flatter trajectory. It was developed and tested by Sako ballistic laboratories first, followed by actual extensive big game hunting tests. The bullet is designed for big game hunting at short to medium distances.
Features:
- Extremely good resistance to bone hits
- Semi-spitzer boat tail structure improves trajectory
- Good penetration capabilities
- Bonded Core
- The bullet’s lead core has been chemically bonded to the jacket to improve weight retention and penetration.
- Heavy Jacketed
- The heavy jacket holds the bullet together after mushrooming to ensure penetration even in bone hits.
- Boat-Tailed Bullet
- The semi-spitzer boat tail design improves ballistic efficiency and gives the bullet a flatter trajectory and more energy at distance.
