- The steel point is intended to prevent deformation, which is a functional trade-off compared with softer-point designs.
- Sold in a 300-round box, which is a larger purchase quantity than many casual shooters may need at one time.
- The product description focuses on the projectile design and round count, so other performance details are not specified in the provided data.
