Pros
- 6mm/.243 caliber hollow point flat base design for varmint and predator use
- Scored nose cavity is specifically described in the product details
- Thin tapered jacket construction is listed in the source information

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Available in 58gr and 72gr versions, so the listed 72gr option is only one part of the line and may not match every load preference.
- The stated twist-rate requirement is 1:12" or faster, which limits use to rifles that meet that specification.
- Ballistic coefficient and sectional density are provided as separate values for the two weights, so performance characteristics vary by version rather than staying uniform across the box.
- This is a hollow point flat base varmint bullet, so it is purpose-built for predator and varmint use rather than general-purpose shooting.
