According to various publications on the Internet Use of lead-free materials<\/strong> and their alleged toxic alloying elements<\/strong> SAX would like to present its position on this at the end of the year.<\/p>\n With the Efforts to find new and alternative materials<\/strong> to the existing copper alloy, Sax<\/strong> also at the beginning of the year 2010 various trials <\/strong>e.g. with brass<\/strong> as the base material.<\/p>\n Despite the tempting advantages<\/strong> from brass<\/strong> to copper like the Significantly lower material price (approx. 2\/3 cheaper <\/strong>than the Sax copper alloy) and the Very good machinability<\/strong> Sax was not tempted to switch to brass for the machining.<\/p>\n The reason for this is the fact that brass<\/strong><\/span> compared to copper also some Serious disadvantages<\/strong><\/span> has. For example Brass as a running killer<\/strong> <\/span>already known and leads to 3-4 times higher running wear<\/span> <\/strong>compared to copper bullets.<\/p>\n Furthermore Brass too brittle<\/strong>so that, on the one hand, there is already Trains and fields <\/strong>to Chipping<\/strong> on the 1st guide belt, which are pulled through the entire barrel by the subsequent belts and literally grind it out and through Friction welding<\/strong> to the rear guide belts welded on<\/strong> become.<\/p>\n When hitting strong bones<\/strong> despite the presence of grooves that are intended to serve as predetermined breaking points. Chipping on the remaining bolt<\/strong> and thus to the Education<\/strong> from Sloping surfaces. <\/strong>These sloping surfaces have a negative effect on shoulder stability and lead<\/strong> ultimately to Deflections of the residual bolt<\/strong> what was commonly known in the past as Ricochet<\/strong> has made the rounds!<\/p>\n With central hits of the shoulder or hip joint balls, it is even possible to Bursting of the residual brass bolts<\/strong> in several chunks of different sizes.<\/p>\n Analysing all these facts, Sax ultimately stuck with its tried-and-tested copper alloy for safety reasons.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Contrary to rumours to the contrary, this copper alloy, including the chemically bound alloying elements it contains, is absolutely harmless to the environment, humans and, of course, our proud white-tailed eagle. To what extent the approx. 3% Lead in brass<\/strong> Hazardous to health<\/strong> are not to be analysed separately at this point! With this in mind, SAX wishes its customers continued environmentally friendly, lead-free and, above all, accurate and effective hunting with Sax copper hunting bullets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sax Research: Copper or brass for lead-free bullets?

Conclusion: The copper alloy is still used for lead-free ammunition bullets<\/h2>\n
