Why Razorback Is Used at Distance

Long-range performance is not defined by expansion.

It is defined by structural integrity, yaw stability, and predictable behavior across velocity loss.

The Razorback bullet system was designed to arrive intact first — then work.

This ammunition system applies Razorback bullets to long-range platforms where consistency across distance matters more than peak ballistic coefficients.


Design Priorities

Long-range ammunition using Razorback bullets prioritizes:

  • Structural integrity across wide velocity windows
  • Stable flight through transonic regions
  • Predictable terminal behavior at extended range
  • Reduced sensitivity to tip deformation or failure

Razorback Bullet Characteristics

Razorback bullets feature:

  • Serrated copper jacket
  • Lead carried to the nose
  • Low-drag ogive geometry
  • Flat-base or rebated boat-tail variants (application-dependent)

This results in:

  • Consistent mass retention
  • Controlled deformation after penetration begins
  • Reliable performance where impact speeds vary widely

The design trades tip-driven expansion for behavioral consistency.


Supported Applications

This system supports:

  • Long-range hunting
  • Distance-sensitive cartridges
  • Platforms where terminal predictability matters more than initial upset

Documentation & Support

This system is supported by:

  • Razorback Bullet System documentation
  • Long-range Compendium chapters
  • Technical Notes on velocity decay and yaw behavior
  • Field observations as published
