Sako, the Finnish manufacturer, innovator in the field of rifles and metal ammunition, introduces a very modern one on the market 100% copper monolithic ammunition. Sakoblade it is equipped with an innovative polymeric tip called "Blade tip" which, together with an expansive internal 5-stage architecture, makes it possible to effectively expand even at low speeds, long distance and on small animals. It guarantees excellent penetration and high resistance to impact with the bones. It is not very devastating over short distances, guaranteeing very little damage on the rake.
Sako BLADE, the new born of the “Sako Powerhead” series, offers unique features as:
100% PURE COPPER Pure copper has great qualities of ductility, this characteristic tends to significantly improve the elongation at low speeds and long distances. This feature makes the Sako Blade the ideal bullet for the hunter looking for the maximum possible performance from a monolithic.
REACTIVE EXPANSION The “Tri-Blade” design tip, together with a perfectly engineered apical bevel, helps the ball expand rapidly ensuring optimized grip at any impact distance. Furthermore, a feature that makes it unique is the ability to work perfectly on animals of any weight and tonnage. To conclude, the very high ballistic coefficient makes BLADE a nosecone with excellent long-distance shooting performance.
MATCH-GRADE ACCURACY The BLADE bullet, thanks to the experience of Sako engineers, has been designed to have, in addition to a great effectiveness in terms of terminal ballistics, a unique level of precision at very long range. The production of the BLADE is entrusted to latest generation machines that guarantee the “state of the art” in the manufacture of monolithic ogives. Precision and consistency makes BLADE the best pure copper monolithic available on the market.
100 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE METALLIC AMMUNITIONING SECTOR Sako is the only company in the world that produces both carbines and metal ammunition. The combination of these two worlds has led the respective R&D to carry out very rigorous tests on the accuracy of weapons and ammunition making this combination extremely solid and reliable in any situation of use.
Aki Suvilahti, Sako Ammunition Business Unit Director says: “I am extremely happy to have reached the pinnacle of Sako ammunition R&D with the new and innovative BLADE. The times for the development and field tests of these monolithic ogives were very long and demanding, it was not absolutely easy to eliminate the weak points that afflict the classic solid copper balls but in the end we managed to make a bullet capable of responsive expansion, optimized grip and high accuracy. The biggest critical issue was that of making the BLADE an extremely effective ball even over long distances and on animals of reduced size and weight. The ballistic characteristics are incredible and lead the BLADE to be exceptionally accurate. We are honored and extremely happy to have created a ball capable of such performances, this for us means the beginning of a new era that will lead to the creation of very interesting new ones. products for the future, both for the hunting and sports world ".
