Specialised bullets for all hunting situations is available in South Africa. The five new hunting bullets available in South Africa.

External and terminal ballistics, Piet du Plessis of DW Bullets has developed a range of high performance solid brass bullets for the discerning handloader/hunter.

Bullets
DW Raptor Brass Hollow Point
These bullets, designed for problem and non-meat animals, also feature the precisely calculated flat nosed profile, but with a cavity designed to expand explosively as four petals in a star pattern at around 50mm of penetration, creating massive trauma while the solid base continues in a straight line for deep penetration.

DW Flat Nose (Dangerous Game Brass)
The flat nosed profile is specifically designed on precise calculations to provide incredibly deep, straight-line penetration. This bullet has a remarkably high BC (0,628 on the .485 calibre)

DW HI Impact (Enhanced System Projectile)
An all-new design, this bullet with step-down meplats is specially designed to deliver a progressive impact on game. The first is on impact, another when the wound channel expands with the second step, a third when the third meplat enters and cuts a passage in the tissue, the fourth as the wound channel expand. The fifth when an almost calibre-size hole is punched through skin and bone. It cuts a calibre size wound channel right rough the body and leaves two large openings for bleeding out.

DW Torpedo
The DW Torpedo Brass Bullet is a very aerodynamic projectile that is both striking and very effective. The shape ensures smooth and consistant feeding in a bolt action rifle and combines deep penetration with low barrel pressure and fouling.

DW Ranger (Brass Bullet with Round Nose)
The DW Ranger is a balanced projectile with a rounded nose and wadcutter shoulder to ensure a calibre-size wound. A crimping groove enables the handloader to crimp the bullet in place so recoil does not shift it into the case.
