Thanks for the reply.

I asked on the FB group who'd used SAX ammo

Some replies Some comments.
In Africa worked well on antelope, any size , Didn't on buffalo.
In Africa, worked on smaller antelope. Failed on large animals.
Explosive in 9.3, on roe, lots of meat damage. Didn't penetrate on red stag

I don't think I like acdesign which blows off the tip on impact and the shank acts like a FMJ/solid. I had Nosler Partition .30 180 gr bullets doing that and had to follow it's of animals too many kilometres.

Thanks for the comments the bullet may not stailise when it slows down, Defeats the purpose of a light bullet super fast fat trajectory buetm .

A 154 gr .375 or 9.3 I think is too light. I think a 209 to 235 gr would be better

The 404 I think is a 220 gr SAX. I have some 257 gr Cutting Edge Raptors to try out in the 404.

In a 8mm, the SAX's seem too light. I think the 160 gr Barnes X's would be the lightest I'd go,

In the 6.5 the SAX's are 85 to 90 grs. I'd try a 100 gr 6.5 X point.

***

These are light bullets to try on light and medium game. A one rifle versatile all rounder approach . Of course 375 / 300ngrs, .404 / 400ngrs, 8 mm /220 grs are preferable for large animals.
