The Cutting Edge Maximus bullet is a testament to innovation in ballistic engineering, crafted with the discerning marksman in mind. Designed specifically for the 6.5 Grendel platform, this projectile bridges the gap between high ballistic coefficient (BC) performance and devastating terminal impact.
Drawing from Cutting Edge's extensive expertise, the Maximus line marries attributes of their acclaimed MTH (Match/Tactical/Hunting) series with those of the high trauma Raptor line. This hybrid design ensures that shooters benefit from both superior aerodynamics and substantial wounding potential, making it an ideal choice for hunting at ranges up to 1000 yards.
The innovative construction allows for deeper penetration than its predecessors. Upon impact and after penetrating 4-6 inches into a target, specialized blades detach to create catastrophic wound channels. The number of blades released—ranging from four larger ones at lower velocities down to 1400 fps, up to eight at speeds exceeding 2400 fps—depends on velocity upon contact.
A defining feature is the patented SealTite Band technology—a band slightly larger than caliber diameter encircles each bullet’s body. This ingenious addition forms a complete seal within your firearm's barrel upon firing, effectively eliminating gas blow-by while minimizing copper fouling and enhancing accuracy.
For those accustomed to traditional lead-core bullets but seeking modern advancements, you'll find solace in knowing that these projectiles are heavier than previous models like the Raptor series yet maintain impressive expansion capabilities even down to velocities as low as 1300 fps.
This precision-engineered bullet requires a twist rate of 1:9.5" or faster for optimal stability during flight.Choose Cutting Edge's Maximus when you require unparalleled accuracy combined with formidable stopping power—a harmonious blend designed not just for success but excellence on every shot fired.
