Special Features
A metallic black polymer tip nestles in the jacket mouth to initiate immediate expansion on impact, triggering rapid core and jacket fragmentation at the velocities generated by .22 caliber cartridges.
The special lead-alloy core combines with the copper-alloy jacket in a design engineered for violent expansion on contact, delivering consistent terminal fragmentation shot to shot across the full velocity range of .22 cal varmint cartridges.
The copper-alloy jacket is built to withstand high muzzle velocities without premature in-flight separation, releasing all stored energy only on contact with the target.
The flat base design delivers benchrest-level accuracy out of varmint rifles, giving high-volume reloaders the consistent, repeatable groups needed to build dependable handloads at scale.
