The Sons of Liberty Gun Works 6mm MAX 80gr expanding monolithic load is a purpose-built precision rifle round for shooters running the 6mm MAX cartridge. Sons of Liberty Gun Works developed the 6mm MAX as a brand new cartridge designed around the unmodified mil-spec .378 bolt face and a full-mass bolt carrier group, which means it runs in a standard AR-15 platform without proprietary bolt work. This 80-grain expanding mono projectile suits hunters and competitive shooters who want flat trajectory and clean terminal performance in a lead-free package. It ships in a 20-round box from a 1,000-round case lot.
The 6mm MAX is pressure-tested to SAAMI standards at 55,000 psi and holds roughly 35 grains of water capacity, which sets the velocity and energy ceiling for the cartridge. This 80gr expanding monolithic bullet uses a solid copper construction that holds together on impact and drives deep without the jacket separation common to conventional cup-and-core designs. Because the projectile is lead-free, it qualifies for hunting in jurisdictions with non-lead requirements. Shooters cross-shopping similar copper rounds can compare it against other options in our copper bullet ammunition and broader long-range expansion loads. The mil-spec bolt face compatibility keeps barrel and bolt sourcing straightforward for anyone already invested in the AR-15 system.
This load earns its place in deer and varmint hunting where lead-free regulations apply, and in match work where consistent expansion and retained weight matter downrange. Pairing it with a properly chambered 6mm MAX upper gives you a flat-shooting setup on a familiar platform. Sons of Liberty Gun Works also offers companion 6mm MAX loads, including a 60gr FMJ practice round and heavier hunting bullets, so you can train and hunt on the same brass.
