Overview
Built for reloaders who want a traditional hunting bullet with controlled expansion, this .30 caliber 220 grain round nose option is aimed at hard-hitting terminal performance. The exposed lead tip and InterLock design are intended to help the jacket and core stay together during expansion, supporting mass and energy retention. Its round nose profile suits hunters looking for a classic bullet style for field use, while load data should always be verified in a reloading manual or with the powder manufacturer before use.
