- SAAMI MAX COL of 1.275 inches.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for loads that stay at or below the stated 1,250 fps limit, so they are not intended for higher-velocity applications.
- The SAAMI MAX COL of 1.275" means overall cartridge length must be kept within that specification for proper use.
- As plated bullets, they offer a cost advantage over jacketed rounds, but the product description does not claim jacket-level performance characteristics.
- Round nose profile may suit certain applications, but load selection should still be matched to the firearm and intended use within the provided specifications.
