Product Overview
The Sako PowerHead Blade 6.5 PRC 120gr is a premium lead-free hunting load featuring Sako's innovative expanding copper bullet design. With a muzzle velocity of 3,068 fps and 2,509 ft-lbs of energy, this ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance on medium-sized game while meeting environmental and legal requirements for lead-free hunting. The unique Blade tip initiates a five-stage expansion sequence optimized for different impact velocities and game sizes.
European-style hunters who prefer lead-free ammunition will appreciate Sako's Finnish engineering and quality manufacturing. The PowerHead Blade's deep hollow cavity and pure ductile copper construction provide immediate expansion and controlled mushrooming across a wide range of impact velocities. This makes it effective from close-range shots where velocity is high to longer distances where bullets need to expand at lower speeds.
Hunters pursuing deer, wild boar, and similar game will find the 120gr weight provides excellent velocity and trajectory while still delivering sufficient penetration for broadside and quartering shots. The lead-free construction eliminates concerns about meat contamination and makes this load compliant with increasingly strict European hunting regulations requiring non-toxic ammunition.
