The Killing effect in the game body<\/strong> is created by the interaction of Target effect<\/strong> and Wound effect<\/strong> one bullet and calibre.<\/strong> The aiming and wounding effect in turn depends strongly on the velocity and the type (structure) of the projectile.<\/p>\n

Against this background, the very interesting question arises regarding the use of Hunting ammunition without lead content<\/strong>. This topic is still very controversial.<\/p>\n

What is the target and wound effect with lead-free Ammunition for different weapon calibres<\/strong>? This is precisely the question that this study sought to answer.<\/p>\n

Weapons calibre effect study 2012 - comparison of the killing effect of different hunting bullets<\/h3>\n

Here you will find the Final report \"Supplementary investigations into the killing effects of lead-free bullets\" <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>the Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences<\/strong> - Germany.<\/p>\n

The content of the investigations carried out by the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development was to examine the effect of different storey structures on different calibres.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following Rifle calibre<\/strong> were used for the FH Study<\/strong> used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Test proportion<\/strong><\/td>\n3,2%<\/td>\n1,4%<\/td>\n18,3%<\/td>\n51,4%<\/td>\n15,4%<\/td>\n8,9%<\/td>\n1,4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Based on the results of the study, the experts investigating the study, forestry graduate Carl Gremse and Prof Dr Siegfried Rieger<\/a>, three requirements<\/strong> for a hunting, Modern hunting bullet<\/a><\/strong> from:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. More than 30 cm linear depth effect<\/li>\n
  2. more than 100 Joule\/cm energy input into the target - this leads to a reliable rupture of the vessel walls along the shot channel<\/li>\n
  3. more than 1,500 joules of energy contribution within 15cm of meat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    IMPORTANT:<\/strong> <\/span>The then <\/span><\/span><\/strong>for the<\/span><\/span> Study<\/span><\/strong> still under the Name \"M\u00f6ller KJG\"<\/strong><\/span> used in the projectiles (IZW study, 2008<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>) go according to<\/span> more confirmed<\/span> Information from Sax Munitions GmbH<\/strong><\/a><\/span> - GF Mr Tobias B\u00fcttner <\/a>on the basic construction of Gerard Schultz (Company GS Custom - South Africa<\/a>)<\/strong> and were returned in a Co-operation between Sax and M\u00f6ller<\/strong> developed and manufactured. Sax Munitions GmbH<\/span><\/strong> still manufactures these storeys under the Designation \"Sax KJG-S\"<\/strong><\/a>. The current stage of development, the Sax KJG-SR<\/strong>is based directly on this storey and represents a Improved further development<\/strong> represent. M\u00f6ller discontinued this high-quality copper bullet rail in 2010 and now manufactures new ones from brass under the designation MJG (M<\/strong>essing-J<\/strong>agd-G<\/strong>floor).<\/a><\/p>\n

    GREAT SUCCESS:<\/span><\/strong> It is remarkable that the Copper hunting bullets (KJG) from Sax<\/strong><\/a> (at that time still under the name M\u00f6ller KJG) even in Calibre .308<\/strong> <\/a>are recommended for distances greater than 300 metres with a suitable killing effect (see results table below).<\/p>\n

    As a result of the investigations, the two gentlemen recommend the following limit ranges for the different bullet types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Sax Ammunition<\/strong> GmbH defines its Requirements for a modern hunting bullet<\/strong> as follows:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • High precision<\/li>\n
    • fast and Safe response<\/strong> even with weak game or on Long distances<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • High killing effect due to Shock and splinter effect<\/strong> even with bad hits<\/li>\n
    • large Depth effect<\/strong> to ensure safe rejects<\/li>\n
    • environmentally friendly<\/strong> Projectile material for people and the environment<\/li>\n
    • Selection of bullet construction and bullet material for Weapon and barrel-friendly use<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Derived from this is the Sax storey requirement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Straight depth effect greater than 0.5m<\/li>\n
      2. Energy input greater than 500 joules<\/li>\n
      3. Point 1 + 2 fulfilled up to at least 300m target distance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
