LAPUA BULLET 9.3MM 285 GR MEGA SP (100)
Lapua’s Mega – a traditional bullet for big game hunters. Lapua’s Mega bullet is a soft point hunting bullet with a protective brass jacket. The Mega is a traditional lead core rifle bullet suitable for all kinds of African game, particularly large game hunting. The mechanical bonding locks the lead alloy in place, keeping the bullet structure together at point of impact.
Lapua Bullet 9.3MM 285 GR Mega SP | Mega soft point bullets are constructed to be an ideal hunting bullet. The bullet's flattened nose causes a powerful shock immediately after impact. The jacket extends all the way to the tip of the bullet, protecting the nose both in the rifle and flight if it hits a branch or twig. The crown-headed jacket tip is thinned toward the point and deliberately folded to ensure even opening and mushrooming on impact up to 2.5 times the original diameter.
The jacket is substantially thickened at its middle section which arrests the mushrooming at precisely the right stage. The "step" farther inside the jacket holds the lead core within the jacket. This construction combines maximum weight retention (averaging 90%) and ideal penetration with superb accuracy.
