G9 Defense Adds New “Shape Charge” Safari Ammo
G9 Defense has a new range of safari ammo. The Shape Charge bullet is a brass projectile that provides deep penetration. But it also creates a large permanent wound cavity by forcing tissue out and away.

The Shape Charge bullet is 100% lead-free. Rather than using a traditional hollow point bullet that can clog or fail to open, this projectile uses “flutes” to create the wound channel.
There are three loadings in the Shape Charge line:
.375 H&H Magnum – 300 grain – 2,600 fps – $189.99
.416 Remington Magnum – 400 grain – 2,400 fps – $194.99
.416 Rigby- 400 grain – 2,400 fps – $261.99
Those bullet weights match current standard loads for those calibers, helping to reduce point of impact shift when switching loads. All three are in stock now and available for order from G9 Defense.
From the manufacturer:
“Post Falls, ID. – – G9 Defense premium defensive ammunition, is pleased to announce the introduction of Safari Ammunition with Shape Charge Technology designed for safari and dangerous game hunters. Elevate your hunting game with the Shape Charge technology from G9 – where innovation meets environmental responsibility, ensuring exceptional performance and ethical hunting practices with every shot.Until now, safari and dangerous game hunters had a dilemma; soft point bullets created wide wound channels but lacked penetration and reliability, while solid bullets penetrated deeply but left a narrow wound. G9 Safari’s lead-free Shape Charge Technology solves this problem by offering the best of both worlds. These state-of-the-art brass bullets are designed to penetrate deeply while creating large, permanent wound cavities by forcing a hydraulic jet into the surrounding tissue. The G9 Safari ammunition’s patented shape propels fluid outward, increasing the wound diameter and ensuring devastating effectiveness. Shape Charge bullets easily cut through thick hide and heavy bone, providing consistent and reliable penetration.”
