SAX BCS Bone Crusher lead-free hunting ammunition

The SAX BCS Bone Crusher is lead-free ammunition developed for dangerous game and large-bore calibers. Its monolithic copper alloy projectile prioritizes mass and penetration, featuring driving bands and a mechanical polymer tip designed to initiate response at lower impact velocities.

The official SAX catalog describes three phases of action: deformation, partial fragmentation, and a solid residual body. The two-stage internal drilling and wedge tip reduce the minimum impact velocity required to approximately 450 m/s.

Main features

Designed for Dangerous Game

A family oriented towards dangerous game and large-caliber cartridges, with a priority on penetration and residual body mass.

Three-phase terminal performance

The front section deforms and partially fragments, while the remaining solid core maintains a deep trajectory.

Lower velocity activation

SAX indicates a minimum impact velocity of approximately 450 m/s thanks to the two-stage cavity and the action of the tip.

Driving bands

The geometry reduces friction and helps limit deposits and wear, even in high-mass projectiles.
