Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for .22 caliber (0.224") use, so it is only appropriate for rifles chambered for this bullet diameter.
- This is a component bullet, not a loaded cartridge, so it requires handloading equipment and proper load development.
- The tipped design is intended to improve long-range ballistics, which may be more than needed for shorter-range applications.
- The 50-bullet box is a relatively small quantity for high-volume handloaders.
