Pros

  • 22 caliber .224-inch hollow point flat base design for varmint and predator use
  • Scored nose cavity is specifically described in the product details
  • Available in 40gr and 50gr weight options
  • 100 bullets per box for convenient bulk packaging
  • Specified ballistic coefficient and sectional density values are provided
  • Recommended for 1:14 twist rate or faster

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Available in 40gr and 50gr versions, so load selection needs to match the specific bullet weight rather than treating the line as one universal option.
  • The listed twist-rate guidance is 1:14" or faster, which means rifles outside that range may not be an appropriate fit.
  • This is a hollow point flat base design with a scored nose cavity, so it is purpose-built for varmint/predator use rather than general-purpose shooting.
  • The product data does not provide separate performance details for each weight beyond the listed ballistic coefficient, sectional density, and length, so choosing between the two requires checking the exact specification set for the intended load.
