Cutting Edge MTH .284 180gr Single Feed Bullets
Lead-free solid copper .284 caliber hunting bullets with patented SealTite band to reduce fouling and fliers. High BC design expands reliably down to 1600 fps. Requires 1:7" twist or faster.
Cutting Edge MTH Hunting Bullets: Precision Engineering for Serious Hunters
The Cutting Edge MTH line represents a significant advancement in hunting bullet technology. These .284 caliber, 180-grain projectiles are machined from solid copper bar stock on precision CNC equipment, ensuring consistency and quality in every round.
Design and Construction
Lead-Free Solid Copper Construction Machined from pure copper bar stock rather than swaged or cast, these bullets offer superior consistency and performance. The solid copper design eliminates lead entirely, making them suitable for all hunting situations and jurisdictions with lead ammunition restrictions.
Patented SealTite Band Technology A distinctive feature of the MTH design is the patented SealTite band—a slightly oversized band around the bullet's circumference. This innovative feature serves two critical purposes:
- Eliminates gas blow-by, which reduces fliers and improves accuracy
- Significantly decreases copper fouling, a common issue with monolithic copper bullets
Ballistic Performance
Expansion Characteristics Unlike traditional hollow-point designs, MTH bullets fracture rather than mushroom. After 1-2 inches of penetration, 3-4 petals break away and radiate outward from the main wound channel, creating a wound cavity approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. This petaling effect delivers massive trauma while the main projectile continues deeper for reliable penetration.
Velocity Range These bullets maintain reliable expansion down to 1600 feet per second, making them effective across extended hunting ranges.
