Reloading for hunters - The sight

What are the advantages of reloading ammunition for hunters and sport shooters?

Very interesting article at THE VIEW - HERE to download

Weapons and above all the Weapon barrels are subject to certain Manufacturing tolerances. Derived from this, it is obvious that the Optimum ammunition adapted to the weapon and not the other way round.

This brings us to the main reason "load yourself" has arrived.

The Main advantage at the Reloading is that the shooter can optimally adapt his cartridge to his weapon. This enables him to achieve a Even greater precision than with factory cartridges. Especially with Shooting sport (Shooting sport) this is an enormous advantage.

Is self-loading (reloading) cheaper?

In addition to this advantage, the Reloading also financial and legal advantages. For example, you are no longer dependent on expensive and fluctuating ammunition prices and have the option of cheaper various Storeys in his weapon or on game and is not so strongly connected to the individual parts. Legal maximum quantities bound.

In addition, the investment in a Charging station e.g. from Dillon very quickly if you frequently Trainigs e.g. for Movement hunting is to be found.

What many people don't realise Sleeve production is complex and expensive. The sleeve can be up to 50% of the expended Cartridge manufacturing costs and is usually thrown away. The used Cartridge case but can easily 5x to 20x can be reused.

Important: Everyone Hunter or Sport shooter of the cartridges themselves, acts independently. The statutory provisions must always be complied with.

Advantage - many hunting bullets for hunting

What is important to the hunter with his bullet / projectile?

It must precise and should be a Good external and target ballistics possess. In the game body it should release sufficient energy in a controlled mannerone safe committee and destroy as little game as possible. These are 3 requirements with major differences in the bullets.

Recommendation: Lead-free copper hunting bullets from SAX

Since Copper alloys depending on alloy and treatment up to 6x harder than leadyou can use much lighter projectiles. Lead-free, lighter bullets in turn bring higher speeds and a Higher penetration rate as shells.

This means, for example, that .308  a very stretched trajectory achieved - and with noticeably less recoil.

Through the tough and hard copper material the impact behaviour as well as the Energy output Behaviour in the game body. The SR projectiles from SAX have a front part of the projectile, which Breaks into 5-6 piecesthe remaining Projectile bolt pulls without mushrooming through the game body and brings a great committee.

Characteristics:

• Lower Game meat loss
• Higher Speedsstretched trajectories
• Energy is controlled deliver
• The projectile penetrates directionally stable
• No material air pockets - therefore very accurate.

Examples: SAX KJG, Barnes TSX and TTSX, Nosler E-Tip, Lapua Naturalis

Thin-walled tombac lead bullets

Advantage: Thanks to thin coat "burst" The bullets impact immediately on impact and release a lot of energy at low penetration depth. This results in Lead splinters. These are distributed within a radius of approx. 30 cm around the bullet hole in the body of the game.

These Explosive energy release overstretches tissue and ruptures blood vessels and often results in Haematomas.

Characteristics:

• Thanks to thin tombac jacket Good barrel adjustment (running profile) and usually very precise
• Killing performance for light cloven-hoofed game is sufficient
• High game loss due to haemorrhaging and contamination
• The depth effect is not sufficient for heavy cloven-hoofed game (long flight distances)
• Often no rejects (missing stalking marks)

Examples: RWS KS, Sierra Game King, Hornady A-Max, Nolser Ballistic Tip

Thick-walled lead bullets

Thick-walled lead bullets tend to have the characteristics of a Full metal jacket bullet. The sphere penetrates simple through the game body - unless it encounters a bone that causes a full fungal infection.

Characteristics:

• Hardly any game board valorisationbut long escape routes possible
• In the case of a smoothbore shot, the bullet releases too little energy into the target.

Examples: Norma Alaska, Lapua Mira and Mega, , RWS TUG, SAKO Hammerhead

Connected storeys

Connected storeys are Much better in effect. The Bullet lead core becomes inseparable from the shell connected. In most cases, the Tombac coat at the Projectile point thinner held. This allows fast mushrooming, even with low target resistance.

The Rear, thicker jacket guarantees low expansion, ensures Depth effect and scrap (residual weight of approx. 75-85%)

Characteristics:

• The bullets are often not very precise
• Imbalance - the jacket, which becomes thicker towards the rear, often does not run evenly
