Overview
Discover the superior performance of Sako Gamehead .223 Rem 55gr Soft Point, an exceptional choice for hunters seeking precision and rapid expansion. This 50 Rounds package is meticulously manufactured in Finland to Sako's exacting standards, providing match-grade consistency and high shock power for small game and varmint hunting. The Gamehead series offers proven results for those seeking reliable .223 Rem ammunition.
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. When it impacts, it expands effectively, creating a large wound channel that stops foxes, coyotes, feral pests, and small game in their tracks.
- Legendary Sako Brass: Sako ammunition is famous for the quality of its brass cases. Uniform, durable, and precisely annealed, these cases are highly sought after by reloaders for their longevity and consistency. Buying factory Sako ammunition is an investment in future handloads.
- Speed and Flat Trajectory: With a muzzle velocity of 3,150 fps, this 55gr load shoots flat and fast. It is an ideal weight for the standard twist rates (1:12" to 1:8") found in most bolt-action hunting rifles and AR-15 platforms.
- Finnish Precision: Every round is inspected to ensure consistent powder charges and seating depths. Sako’s dedication to quality control means you get reliable ignition and accuracy, even in freezing cold or extreme heat.
- Bullet Type: Soft Point (SP) – Classic design for reliable expansion on light-skinned game.
- Optimised Use: Ideal for foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and other small game/varmints. Also suitable for Roe Deer/Muntjac where .223 Rem is legal.
- Premium Components: Clean-burning powders and non-corrosive primers.
- Reloadable Brass: Boxer-primed, high-quality brass casings.
