New Hunting Ammunition from PMP
http://www.pacificbreeze353.com/newsletters/index.cfm?y=article&company=17&article=4090&nl=622 &click=web&subsection=51&langu=1
PMP has announced the development of a new series of hunting ammunition which will be known as Kalahari Elite and which will consist of four calibres.
This announcement by Carel Wolhuter, Executive General Manager of PMP, follows on speculation in the media over the past few months that PMP was developing a further series of hunting ammunition but that it was still being kept under wraps.
The original four new calibres are:
• .243 Winchester 90 grain
• 25-06 Remington 100 grain
• .270 Winchester 130 grain
• 7 mm Remington Magnum 150 grain
This development was preceded by the successful introduction of PMP’s popular African Elite-series in 2008. The latter is loaded with the internationally known Swift A-frame bullets which were imported directly from SWIFT in the USA, and it is manufactured in four calibres - 375 H&H Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum, 30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester.
PMP’s standard Super and ProAmm series is outstanding value for money and particularly popular in the American and European markets. Yet the need was identified for lighter bullet types and which are also bundle bullets where the copper and lead are bonded.
The Kalahari Elite series is loaded with another internationally known bullet, the Scirocco, which was also imported directly from Swift Bullet Company in the USA. The bullet’s polymer point initiates dilation and is very meticulously shaped to decrease wind resistance. It is very accurate with 2,5 times the dilation of the original calibre and it has an 85% plus mass retention. Terminal performance is excellent.
According to Wolhuter the production orders have been placed with the factory and the new series will appear on the shelves of dealers during the approaching hunting season.
