12.7X108MM ARMOR PIERCING CARTRIDGE
This specialized rifle cartridge is engineered for defeating armored targets and fortified structures. It features a brass casing with a copper-jacketed projectile tipped with a hardened core, designed to penetrate ballistic protection and heavy plating. The streamlined design ensures stable flight and reliable ignition, while the reinforced core delivers maximum penetration. Armor-piercing cartridges are widely used in military operations where enhanced lethality against armored vehicles and protective gear is required.

DESCRIPTION |
|
|
- This cartridge features a copper casing and a polymer-tipped bullet. The black tip, also known as the "flat tip," is designed to improve aerodynamics and initiate expansion upon impact. This series features a chemically bonded copper casing to a lead core to prevent bullet fragmentation. - This is a center-fired rifle cartridge. It is designed to be a high-performance hunting cartridge, combining long-range accuracy with devastating final impact power. |
|
|
- This ammunition is specifically designed for hunting large game (such as deer, elk, and moose). Its "tough" nature makes it versatile, expanding at long range when the velocity is low, while maintaining sufficient toughness to prevent fragmentation upon high-velocity impacts at close range. |

Cartridge Components |
|
|
Bullet: |
|
|
Polymer Head: The prominent black head (flat tip) streamlines the bullet's trajectory for a high ballistic coefficient, ensuring a straighter path and improved wind resistance. It also acts as a wedge to initiate rapid and controlled expansion upon impact. |
|
|
Boarded Core: The lead core is chemically bonded to a thick copper casing. This prevents the bullet from shattering upon impact with bone or muscle, ensuring deep penetration and near-100% weight retention. |
|
|
Cut Cone Shape and Tapered Base: The sleek, tapered head shape and the boat-like internal taper at the base reduce air resistance, making it highly accurate at long range. |
|
|
Castle: |
|
|
Brass Construction: A high-quality, refillable brass casing provides reliable feed and extraction and maintains pressure efficiently. |
|
|
Bottleneck design: A classic design for centerfire rifles, used to contain a large amount of gunpowder compared to the bullet diameter, producing high velocities. |
