The ultimate varmint cartridge
Sako has developed the ultimate Varmint bullet that features a thin jacket and massive hollow-point that results in extremely fast fragmentation upon impact. As a result, the bullet offers high versatility across different sizes of vermin and improves safety against ricochets. This high-precision boat-tailed bullet will be loaded in calibers .308Win and .30-06 Spring with 8,4g / 130gr bullet weight.
Caliber | Bullet weight | Muzzle velocity | Ballistic coefficient | C.O.L |
---|---|---|---|---|
308 Win. | 8.4 g | 940 m/s | 0.216 | 66.4 mm |
30-06 Spring. | 8.4 g | 965 m/s | 0.216 | 77.4 mm |
Key Features:
This bullet is design to expand in a very aggressive way to explode upon impact. Generated fragments are so small that it also minimizes the risk of ricochet.
The hollow-point design of the Varmint RX offers devastating fragmentation on impact.
The Varmint RX bullet retains more of its velocity down range which flattens its trajectory. The particular shape helps the bullet retain more of its energy and hit its target harder than other similar but slower projectiles. With a better resistance to wind drift, the advantage of the boat-tail becomes self-apparent at long range.
