Fox Bullets 8x57IS ammunition is a premium solution for hunters who demand high performance and reliability. The Fox Classic Hunter projectile, weighing 10.4 g / 160 gr, is lead-free and made of a copper-zinc alloy. This construction makes it ideal for a wide range of hunting situations, from close forest hunting of wild boar to long shots on open plains.
The ammunition is designed with grooves on the projectile, which reduce the contact area between the projectile and the barrel of the rifle, which reduces friction and increases velocity. The tip of the projectile, made of thermostable plastic, improves both the flight characteristics and the terminal effect. On impact, the projectile is deformed into a mushroom shape with a diameter twice as large as the caliber, which ensures a controlled and rapid expansion. This results in efficient energy transfer to the game's body, which provides a unique stopping effect, while at the same time the game meat remains intact.
The Fox Classic Hunter projectile is designed to offer reliable deformation even at lower impact velocities (500 m/s), making it versatile and reliable in various hunting conditions. The carefully selected copper-zinc alloy ensures an optimal balance between speed and deformation, which leads to precise shots and minimal damage to game meat.
