.338 | 175gr | CutEdge Maximus
by Cutting Edge
The Cutting Edge Maximus is a solid copper hunting bullet engineered for maximum penetration and extreme weight retention on the toughest game. Unlike expanding designs, the Maximus features a flat brass tip and no expansion mechanism, designed to penetrate straight through with 100% weight retention. This bullet is ideal for dangerous game hunting in Africa including Cape buffalo, elephant, and hippo, as well as large bears in North America. The SealTite band reduces pressure and fouling while ensuring consistent velocities. Handloaders appreciate its simplicity and reliability in life-or-death hunting situations.
