Balistix Bullets – Premium Ammunition for Precision Shooting

Discover the ultimate ammunition solution for precision shooting with Balistix .277 Bullets. Crafted with the utmost precision and using the finest materials, our premium bullets ensure unparalleled accuracy and performance. Elevate your shooting experience with Balistix Bullets today.

1. Balistix .277 Bullets Manufacturing

Consistent geometry (CNC manufactured).
Mid SAAMI tolerance on diameter (± 3,5 Micron (µm) maximum on manufacturing).

2. Technical Features of Bullet

2.1 Material

Pure copper (>99,5% copper).
Environmentally friendly (lead free).
Aligned with international trends (embargo on leaded ammunition).
Specific gravity of pure copper is 10 – 15% less than equivalent lead core bullets. The monolithic bullet is lighter than the equivalent length lead core bullet, therefore increased velocity is achievable.
By selecting the appropriate monolithic bullet for a given twist rate, a flatter trajectory may be achievable compared to the lead core alternative. Follow manufacturer’s recommendation on selecting an appropriate bullet weight for the rifle’s twist rate.

2.2 Rebated Boat Tail

Deflected gas flow away from the bullet during bullet exit at crown, ensuring less turbulent gas conditions in front of the bullet.
Up to 15% increase in precision and accuracy compared to conventional boat tail design.
Flat base bullet precision and accuracy with boat tail BC benefits.
Boat tail angle conforms to the popular industrial standard for optimised BC.

2.3 Ogive

Tangent Ogive design which is less “jump” sensitive.
Ogive is not off a “bore rider” design, i.e. the ogive engages with the lands.
Bullet is “tunable” for precision (i.e. jump adjustable).
Bullet position in case can be measured with ogive comparator tools.
Both a “target” and “hunting” ogive designs available. Same impact point.

2.4 Bearing Surface

Designed within SAAMI tolerances.
Improved low friction drive band design which results in:
- Minimum copper fouling
- Low pressure characteristics

3. Hexagonal Boron Nitrate (HBN)

Hexagonal Boron Nitrate is a highly sought-after compound in various industries for its exceptional dry lubrication capabilities and remarkable resistance to extreme temperatures. It outperforms all other solid lubricants in terms of both high-temperature endurance and lubricating properties, making it an indispensable choice for industrial applications.

3.1 Excellent Lubrication

HBN application results in less fouling and less pressure compared to untreated monolithic bullets.
Reduced extreme velocity spread and therefore improved precision and accuracy.
Improved accuracy between cold bore and follow-up shots. Further reduces elevation dispersion.

Brand

Balistix

The Balistix team is a group of South African hunting and competitive sport shooting enthusiasts. All three friends, ranging from a successful manufacturing engineering entrepreneur, an investment and corporate banker, and a mechanical engineer had a dream to locally produce a monolithic bullet that not only conforms, but more importantly, exceeds the demands of the modern day shooter and hunter. The objective was to provide a local alternative to imported established brand names. The worldwide drive to ban lead-core bullets, as well as the sheer cost of imported products against the shifting exchange rate prompted the establishment of Balistix Bullets. In an effort to curb these problems, the three founding members decided to enter the market with the mission of supplying a high quality premium monolithic bullet that will consistently perform beyond expectation. This will be achieved through applying a modern approach to bullet design against the status quo. Our motto, “Where Accuracy Counts”, is a promise we intend to keep.

Balistix “Target” Bullet:

Target bullets are solid bullets without any expansion capability. These bullets are NOT intended for hunting EXCEPT for the 9.3mm and .375 bullets that are considered “SOLID” bullets and may be used for dangerous game hunting. Target bullets are also used as a more cost-effective alternative for developing loads to be used on the Balistix HunTac & Ultra Hunt bullets.

G1 BC:
Mathematically calculated at Mach 2.5. G1 BC is derived from a flat base design model and should not be used for long range ballistic trajectory calculations. G1 BC is however sufficient for short range (up to 300m) shooting.

G7 BC:
Mathematically calculated at Mach 2.5. G7 BC should preferably be used for a boat tail bullet design therefore more applicable to Balistix bullets.

Actual BC:
Please note that actual BC is drastically influenced by muzzle velocity and atmospheric conditions. Please follow the procedure on our website in order to determine the exact BC for your rifle. (www.balistixbullets.com)

RBT:
A Rebated Boat Tail bullet combines flat base bullet accuracy properties with boat tail BC enhancements. International studies have shown that a Rebated Boat Tail design can yield an increase in accuracy of up to 15% compared to conventional boat tail designs.

SG (Gyroscopic Stability Factor):
SG < 1.0 = unstable and should not be used.
SG 1.0 to 1,5 = marginally stable*. This is a “grey zone” and tests with your rifle and bullet combination will reveal a stability problem or not.
SG > 1,5 = perfectly stabilised.

* Please note that marginally stable does not mean the bullet will not shoot well. If your bullet holes are perfectly round/symmetrical on a paper target it implies that the bullet is stabilised in your rifle. If you note any form of “key holing” on your target, at any distance, then your rifle and or environmental shooting conditions are not suitable for our bullet.

Balistix “HunTac” Bullet:

HunTac bullets provide a true multipurpose capability for both Hunting as well as Tactical applications. The shorter ogive design allow for better use in repeater actions magazines, hence the “tactical” reference. The “open tip” design promotes bullet expansion when used for hunting. HunTac bullets are similar in design as our Target bullets and therefore similar load data is applicable to both bullet designs. The Target bullet provides for a more cost effective load development option for using the HunTac bullet. HunTac bullets provides exceptional accuracy and ease of tuning.

G7 BC:
Mathematically calculated at Mach 2.5. G7 BC should preferably be used for a boat tail bullet design therefore more applicable to Balistix bullets.

Balistix “Ultra Hunt” Bullet:

The Ultra Hunt bullet design is derived from the HunTac bullet and provides an extra feature on the bullet tip that allows for rapid expansion. This rapid expansion will result in deadly terminal efficiency. Ultra Hunt bullets share the same ogive design for supreme accuracy but will have a reduced BC and therefore are not ideal for long range hunting. Typical application of these bullets are bush hunting.

G7 BC:
Mathematically calculated at Mach 2.5. G7 BC should preferably be used for a boat tail bullet design therefore more applicable to Balistix bullets.
