Description
Designed to Enter Intact — Then Work
The Razorback series exists for shooters who want predictable terminal behavior, not rapid upset driven by fragile cavities or thin jackets.
This 240-grain .429 Razorback hollow point is engineered to resist premature expansion, maintain forward momentum, and begin deformation only after resistance is encountered.
It is designed to arrive intact first — then work.
Why the 240-Grain .429 Razorback Exists
In .429-caliber platforms, especially those used for hunting or defensive purposes, hollow-point bullets often fail in one of two ways:
-
early, uncontrolled expansion with shallow penetration
-
inconsistent behavior as velocity changes between handgun and rifle barrels
The Razorback addresses this by combining mass, jacket strength, and controlled hollow-point geometry into a single system.
The goal is not rapid expansion.
The goal is reliable penetration with controlled deformation.
Serrated Jacket with Proud Petals — Structural Control
The Razorback’s defining feature is its serrated copper jacket, with slightly proud jacket petals extending above the lead core.
This architecture:
-
delays deformation until resistance is encountered
-
resists jacket peel-back and fragmentation
-
allows controlled upset to begin inside penetration
-
preserves mass and directional stability
The hollow-point cavity is supported, not thin-walled, ensuring deformation occurs progressively rather than catastrophically.
Controlled Penetration Across Velocity Ranges
This bullet is not tuned for one narrow impact speed.
Instead, it delivers:
-
straight-line penetration
-
delayed, controlled hollow-point deformation
-
consistent crush path through mixed tissue and bone
-
predictable performance from both handgun and rifle barrels
That makes it suitable where outcome consistency matters more than expansion theater.
Flat Base and Cannelure for Repeatability
A flat base favors stability and predictable exit behavior, while a properly placed cannelure allows for:
-
secure crimping
-
consistent seating depth
-
reduced risk of setback under recoil
These features support repeatable performance in revolvers, lever guns, and single-shot platforms.
Hand-Swaged, Match-Quality Construction
Every Razorback bullet is hand swaged, not mass poured.
This ensures:
-
uniform jacket concentricity
-
consistent core placement
-
repeatable weight and balance
Built for shooters who care about what happens after the trigger breaks.
