The lead core is bonded to the bullet jacket. This helps reduce core-jacket separation and improves bullet weight retention and penetration. How does the 9.7 g model differ from the 11.7 g Super Hammerhead? The 9.7 g bullet is lighter and has a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s. The 11.7 g bullet is heavier, slower, and has a higher ballistic coefficient. Does 235A mean a 235-grain bullet? No. 235A is Sako’s bullet code. The actual bullet weight is 150 gr or 9.7 g. Is the cartridge suitable for longer shooting distances? The high muzzle velocity of the 150 gr bullet supports a relatively flat trajectory, but the 0.263 ballistic coefficient means that at longer distances, you need to carefully account for bullet drop and wind. When is the Super Hammerhead 9.7 g the right choice? This cartridge is suitable for hunters seeking a fast and robust 150 gr .30-06 hunting bullet. It is a practical choice when you value better weight retention and penetration compared to the Gamehead. If you prefer a heavier bullet, steeper shooting angles, or higher bullet impulse, consider the 11.7 g Super Hammerhead. If you require or prefer lead-free ammunition, choose the Powerhead Blade. Recommendation We recommend checking the cartridge’s accuracy and point of impact in your rifle at least at your usual hunting distance. The 150 gr Super Hammerhead may hit at a different height than the 180 gr version or the 175 gr Powerhead Blade. The bonded core and strong jacket improve bullet integrity, but shot placement should always consider the animal’s position and anatomy. Due to its good penetration, always ensure a safe backstop behind the game. Before use, check that the bullet’s weight and energy meet the legal requirements for hunting the intended game. Fast 150 gr bonded hunting bullet Sako Super Hammerhead 235A combines a 150 gr bonded soft point bullet, 900 m/s muzzle velocity, and robust construction for medium and large game hunting.
