Overview

Sako Gamehead is the go-to choice for hunters who demand rapid expansion, high shock power, and match-grade consistency in a hunting load. Manufactured in Finland to Sako's exacting standards, this Sako .223 Rem 55gr Spitzer-nosed Soft Point (SP) cartridge is engineered specifically for accurate hits on small game and varmint, making it an excellent all-purpose hunting bullet where instant stopping power is critical.

Featuring a time-tested construction, the Gamehead bullet combines a rugged jacket with a non-bonded soft lead core. This design ensures the bullet mushrooms rapidly upon impact, delivering massive energy transfer to the target while minimising the risk of over-penetration or run-offs.

  • Rapid & Reliable Expansion: The exposed soft lead tip is designed for immediate mushrooming, creating a large wound channel for effective stopping power on small game and pests.
  • Legendary Sako Brass: Sako ammunition is renowned for its uniform, durable, and precisely annealed brass cases, highly sought after by reloaders for longevity and consistency.
  • Speed and Flat Trajectory: With a muzzle velocity of 3,150 feet per second (960 metres per second), this 55gr load offers a flat and fast trajectory, ideal for standard twist rates (1:12" to 1:8") in most bolt-action hunting rifles and AR-15 platforms.
  • Finnish Precision: Every Sako round undergoes inspection to ensure consistent powder charges and seating depths, guaranteeing reliable ignition and accuracy even in extreme conditions.
  • Bullet Type: Spitzer-nosed Soft Point (SP) – A classic design for reliable expansion on light-skinned game.
  • Optimised Use: Ideal for foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and other small game/varmints.
  • Premium Components: Features clean-burning powders and non-corrosive primers for consistent performance.
  • Reloadable Brass: Boxer-primed, high-quality brass casings offer excellent potential for future handloads.
