.285 | 103gr | Sax MJG-HSX

About this bullet

.285 | 103gr | Sax MJG-HSX is a bullet made by Sax. At 103 gr (6.7 g) and a diameter of 0.285'' (7.24 mm) it suits handloads where bullet weight and barrel length have to be matched carefully. Its G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.21 drives velocity retention and wind drift downrange — higher values mean a flatter trajectory at distance. A twist rate of 1:13.0 is recommended for stable flight; slower twists can under-stabilise this bullet.
