  • The 8.5 x 55 Blaser is a caliber that has been developed to provide the best possible effect with a high bullet velocity and 11.7 g and 12 g bullet weight. It is an ideal choice for hunters who want to simplify their ammunition selection while still getting good accuracy, massive mushrooming, and high residual weight.

    The 8.5x55 Blaser cartridge can offer excellent ballistic performance even when fired from a 20”/50 cm long barrel. According to Norma reloading data, it shoots a 230gr 338 cal bullet at 2674fps. This provides a high shock effect and penetration force while keeping the weight the same as other calibers.

    Blaser CDP ammunition is specifically designed for use with the 8.5x55 Blaser caliber, providing hunters with an effective solution for hunting game of all sizes. With its combination of power and accuracy, it's no wonder why this caliber has become so popular among hunters in recent years!
