The Sako .308 Win. Powerhead Blade is a lead-free hunting cartridge featuring a 100% copper bullet. Its 5-stage terminal design ensures controlled expansion, deep penetration, and strong energy transfer—even at longer ranges or on lighter game.
The 5 Terminal Stages at a Glance
- Bullet tip – reliably initiates expansion
- Reaction chamber – enables expansion even at low impact velocity
- Expansion grooves – ensure uniform mushrooming and strong stopping effect
- Expansion chamber – controls the bullet expansion to optimal diameter
- Expansion stop – prevents over-expansion and ensures high weight retention and exit wound
The result: reliable performance in the target and a lead-free alternative with no compromise in effectiveness.
