Overview

Built for hunters who want a lead-free option in a 6.5mm hunting load, this 120-grain bullet is designed around a 100% copper construction and a boat-tail profile. The Triple-Shock design uses precisely positioned rings cut into the bullet body to help relieve firing pressure and reduce copper fouling, which supports higher-velocity loading. It is intended for demanding game where deep penetration through dense tissue and heavy bone is a priority. Packaged 50 per box, it suits hunters looking for a premium bullet choice without adding unsupported complexity to the setup.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Lead-free, all-copper construction may require a different load choice than traditional lead-core bullets, depending on your setup and hunting needs.
  • The 120gr weight is a specific fit for 6.5mm applications, so it may not be the right option for every rifle or game profile.
  • The design emphasizes penetration and reduced copper fouling, but it is still a premium hunting bullet rather than a general-purpose range option.
  • As a boat-tail hunting bullet, it is intended for a defined use case and may not suit shooters looking for maximum versatility across all loads.
