CUTTING EDGE BULLETS

.500 / 450-gr Safari Raptor™ in monolithic brass (NonCon) for bolt-action rifles (also suitable in double rifles). BBW#13™ 67% meplat and 3+1 band layout reduce barrel strain. Instead of mushrooming, six petals shear at ~3 in and radiate while the solid base drives straight and very deep. G1 BC 0.180; minimum impact ≥ 1500 fps. Bullet OAL 1.329 in, projection 0.608 in. Standard twist recommended (not faster than 1:6).

Design & terminal effect
CNC-turned brass (NonCon). BBW#13™ 67% meplat for terminal stability; 3+1 bands lower friction/pressure. Six petals start to shear around 3 in and move outward while the solid shank continues straight for maximum depth. Lead-free.
