Bushmaster
Stop them dead in their tracks
Also known as VRG3, this bullet is purposefully designed for hunting dangerous game in dense thicket or bush conditions. It is renowned for exceptional knockdown power, deep penetration, and the ability to withstand the toughest bones while ensuring perfect expansion on both bone and soft tissue, even at impact velocities as low as 1500fps. The frontal design ensures a straight wound channel for clear entry and exit points, facilitating effective blood trails. Proven in Africa against the toughest game!
FEATURES
- Devastating terminal performance with minimal meat damage across all game sizes, including dangerous animals
- Perfect controlled expansion facilitated by a patented mechanical plunging initiator
- Maintains its structure upon bone impact, ensuring a straight path to the vitals
- Minimal deflection from minor obstacles like thicket branches
- Complements the non-expanding BACKUP, sharing identical ballistic profiles and load data
- The BUSHMASTER and BACKUP is the perfect combination of dangerous game hunting
- Soft copper alloy and enhanced bearing surface for higher velocities and reduced chamber and barrel pressures in expensive big bore rifles
- Reduced copper build-up
- Increased barrel life
- Patented Globally
- 100% lead free
- Available in all calibers from .204 to 50 cal
