Overview
Built for varmint-focused loads, this 22 caliber, 55 grain bullet is intended for shooters who want a tipped design in a practical 100-count package. Its lead-alloy core, copper-alloy jacket, and metallic black polymer tip are paired with an ultra-thin jacket mouth and flat base, reflecting a design centered on immediate expansion and benchrest accuracy. The jacket wall design is described as helping the bullet stay together until impact, making it a fit for high-velocity applications where controlled expansion is part of the goal. Reloaders should verify load data through a manual or powder manufacturer before use.
