Cutting Edge Bullets .366/9.3mm 255gr Safari Raptor projectiles are purpose built solids for the serious dangerous game handloader, delivered 50 to the box. This is a 9.3mm, .366 inch diameter, 255 grain non conventional brass solid designed for bolt action rifles as well as double rifles. If you build loads for thick skin game and you demand deep, straight penetration, Cutting Edge Bullets .366/9.3mm gives you a machined solid engineered for exactly that job. This is a bullet only, not loaded ammunition, and it represents a modern take on the dangerous game solid that many hunters now prefer over older designs. The 9.3mm cartridges have a long and respected history in Africa and Europe on the heaviest game. A machined brass solid built to a modern penetration standard is exactly the kind of component that keeps those classic rounds relevant today. When you are loading for animals that can turn the tables on a hunter, there is no substitute for a bullet that drives straight and deep every single time. This is a component built with that unforgiving standard in mind.
What the Cutting Edge Bullets .366/9.3mm are and who they are for
The Safari Raptor is a specialized Thick Skin Game bullet, and it works differently from a conventional expanding solid. The design incorporates a 3 plus 1 band configuration for reduced barrel strain and carries the 67 percent Meplat BBW#13 nose profile, which has been proven to provide the deepest penetration of any nose profile to date. Instead of mushrooming, this Thick Skin Game bullet sheds three blades rather than the traditional six.
These are for the safari hunter and the dangerous game handloader who needs controlled, deep terminal performance on the toughest animals. If you feed a 9.3mm cartridge and take your bullet selection seriously, this is a component built for the moment that matters most. When the animal in front of you is big, heavy boned, and capable of ruining your day, a purpose built solid like this is exactly what belongs in the chamber.

Specifications woven into your load
The terminal behavior is the story here, because instead of mushrooming, three petals shear off starting at about three inches of penetration and gradually move in a star pattern away from the main wound channel while the base continues on for even deeper penetration. That is a deliberate design, and the 255 grain weight in the .366 inch, 9.3mm diameter delivers the sectional density to make it work. With 50 bullets to the box, you have room to develop and confirm a load for a serious hunt.
The 3 plus 1 band construction reduces bearing surface and barrel strain, a thoughtful touch on a hard hitting solid. That reduced friction is easier on your bore over a load workup, while the machined brass body holds its shape driving through heavy bone.
Practical use, care, and compatibility
Work up your load carefully from published 9.3mm data, and because banded solids behave differently from conventional bullets, confirm your seating depth and pressure with a conservative approach. Match your rifle’s twist rate to the bullet and verify feeding in a double or bolt action before you count on it. On a dangerous game rifle, flawless feeding is not optional.
Store the box dry and boxed to protect the machined noses. Add brass, primers, and storage from the rest of our reloading components and gear to complete your order. Bullets from Cutting Edge Bullets are a component and not a firearm.
