Overview
Built for precision rifle work, this 135-grain hollow point boat tail bullet is intended for shooters who prioritize consistent dimensions and careful weight control. Its small meplat and high ballistic coefficient design support use in target-focused applications where uniformity matters. Sold as a box of 100, it is not loaded ammunition and is suited to handloaders assembling match-oriented rounds. The non-coated, lead-based construction and 1 in 10" or faster recommended twist rate should be considered when planning a load.
