First Look: G9 Defense Safari Shape Charge Ammunition

G9 Defense has just added three loads featuring Shape Charge technology to its Safari Ammunition line, designed to excel at dangerous game hunting.

Dangerous game hunters have some new ammo options to explore as G9 Defense has just updated its Safari Ammunition line with three new loads featuring “Shape Charge” technology. While soft point bullets can have underwhelming penetration, and solid projectiles can produce unimpressive wound channels, G9 Defense says that the Shape Charge loads of Safari Ammunition can provide the best of both worlds in a lead-free package.

No, there’s no plastique in these bullets, but the tips of the all-brass projectiles feature a special profile designed to push fluid outwards and create devastating permanent wound cavities. Further, G9 Defense loads the Shape Charge Safari rounds to standard velocities using standard-weight projectiles to ensure there’s no point of impact shift. Available loads currently include a 300-grain .375 H&H Magnum, a 400-grain .416 Rigby and a 400-grain .416 Remington Magnum.

Here’s what G9 Defense said about the new ammo:

Once in a lifetime hunts shouldn’t be left to chance. With G9 Defense Shape Charge Safari Ammunition, hunters no longer have to compromise between deep penetration and expansive wounds, ensuring a clean, ethical take. Hunters can trust G9’s Shape Charge Technology to deliver when it matters most.

The three Shape Charge loads of Safari Ammunition are available now, and the MSRP for a box of 20 rounds ranges from $189.99 to $261.99 depending on the caliber.
