Lazer

The LAZER line of projectiles were designed as long range hunting projectiles. The body uses the same design as the established copper target projectiles, with the SealTite Band and slightly sub-calibre shank. However, the meplat has been redesigned to include a small Raptor Tip, with a three blade deep cavity design. The small Tip is to ensure the highest possible ballistic co-efficient, while still dramatically improving the terminal performance over the standard copper designs. This is important at long ranges, where the impact velocity has fallen well below muzzle velocity.

In addition to being a long range hunting projectile, the Lazer design has found considerable favour with ELR (extended long range shooters) in competition. Lazer projectiles are now the preferred projectile for ELR shooters as they have won mutliple ELR matches over the past several years. They are now available from calibres starting at .264 and extending up to .510 cal. There are multiple weights in most calibres to allow for different rifle twist rates.

They come in both Standard and Max configurations. The Standard version has the Seal-Tite Band further forward to allow use in a magazine. The Max configuration has the Seal-Tite Band closer towards the base to enable the projectile to be seated further out, allowing maximum space for propellant. These projectiles are usually too long for standard magazines and need to be single fed. Many of the heavier weight projectiles only come in the Max configuration due to their length.

Note:  Because these projectiles are solid copper, they are considerably longer than lead core projectiles of the same weight. As such, they will likely require a faster twist than the same weight lead core projectile. Please check the Technical Data Sheet to ensure that the projectiles you are interested in are compatible with your rifle's barrel twist rate.
