Overview
Built for hunters who want a controlled-expansion bullet in a .30 caliber, 165-grain format, this option is designed for use on game where penetration and quick expansion are both important. Its polymer tip and boat-tail profile are intended to support consistent flight, while the hollow point design is described as promoting rapid opening on impact. The bullet uses a lead alloy core with a copper jacket, and it is sold as a component bullet rather than loaded ammunition. With 100 bullets per box, it suits hunters loading for practice and field use alike, while remaining focused on a straightforward hunting application.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a component bullet, not loaded ammunition, so it requires compatible components and careful handloading to use.
- The polymer tip and boat-tail profile are designed for hunting use, but the bullet is not lead-free.
- At 165 grains in .308 diameter, it may not be the right choice for every .30 caliber application or twist-rate preference.
- The box contains 100 bullets, which is useful for load development but more than a small one-time purchase if you only need a limited quantity.
