Description
The 8.6BLK Selous Machined Expander projectiles are solid copper 338 caliber projectiles designed to expand at subsonic velocities between 1100FPS and 700FPS. This projectile is designed specifically to take full advantage of the additional rotational kinetic energy produced by 1:3 twist barrels. Testing has shown 950fps impacts produce immediate expansion and 19″ of penetration in calibrated clear ballistics gelatin. Observed permanent cavitation, during live tissue testing on a variety of animals, is massive. Despite the relatively high amount of rotational kinetic energy, the projectile is able to retain 100% of its mass post-expansion.
We are now offering tips for our 280gr 8.6BLK Selous projectiles. These tips aide feeding reliability and provide a slight external ballistics enhancement (increased BC). They are not necessary and some hunters may find the projectile to perform better terminally without them inserted. If you would like to print them yourself request the print file from David@Discreetballistics.com
