History and background

Hexolit 32S originated from Hexolit 32 hunting slug cartridge when technical characteristics, accuracy and capabilities of this powerful hunting round were considered as a better solution that replaced usual lead ammunition in situations where impact in large area combined with deep penetration and effective transfer of energy were required.

Mechanism – Technology

Expanding steel main body of slug with 6 expanding petals in forepart provides fast expansion of the slug and effective transfer of the energy. Depending on the target slug expands and remains in one piece (hard targets) or fragments (soft and dense targets) impacting large area with splinters and penetrating deep with the main body of slug. Slug provides effective stopping power and ability to transfer large amounts of energy immediately after hitting the target. If compared with slug and buckshot combination, Hexolit 32S fragments only after hitting the target and delivers the energy to the target without losses during the flight.
