New SIG SAUER Elite Hunter Tipped Rifle Cartridges For Long Shots

SIG: It’s not just for pistols anymore!
Excellent news for the hunters among us: Seems SIG SAUER is branching out their ammunition line to include a little something for the hunters among us…well, actually, kind of a big something. They’ve just debuted their Elite Hunter Tipped ammunition, and the strikingly different appearance of these rifle cartridges is only the beginning of the innovation on offer. In particular, the Elite Hunter line was designed to maximize a hunter’s chances of a good, clean, ethical harvest even at extended distances.
There are many factors involved in creating a hunting cartridge, but one of the top criteria is that the bullet needs to penetrate the game animal’s body deeply while expanding…but while simultaneously losing as little mass as possible. That’s exactly what the Elite Hunter Tipped ammo was created to do, delivering instant knockdown capability and maximum terminal performance at extended ranges.
The interesting appearance of these premium cartridges is distinct, but it’s not (just) there for looks. The yellow-tipped, lead-alloy bullet has an enhanced boattail design for superior flight characteristics over a wide range of velocities. The exclusive design of the concentric, blackened jacket ensures reliable, controlled expansion of the bullet with maximum weight retention. The translucent yellow tip increases the ballistic coefficient while improving terminal performance and aiding in consistent, reliable chambering.
All Elite Hunter Tipped ammunition features nickel-plated cases that aid in extraction while providing significant anti-corrosion qualities. The custom formulated and precision loaded powders deliver consistent velocities regardless of atmospheric conditions and industry-leading primers are matched to proprietary powder blends to ensure dependable ignition.
Elite Hunter Tipped ammunition is available in a wide variety of popular hunting calibers, including:
