CUTTING EDGE BULLETS

.505 / 485-gr Safari Raptor™ in monolithic brass (NonCon), purpose-built for the .505 Gibbs. BBW#13™ 67% meplat and 3+1 band layout reduce barrel strain. Rather than mushrooming, six petals shear at ~3 in and radiate while the solid base drives straight and very deep. G1 BC 0.180; min impact ≥ 1500 fps. OAL 1.332 in, projection 0.600 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 begin to shear around 3 in and move outward as the solid shank continues straight for maximum depth. Lead-free.
