Overview
Designed for precision target work, this 22 caliber 75-grain VLD boat tail bullet is intended for shooters focused on long-range consistency and careful load development. Its secant ogive design is described as reducing drag, which supports flatter shooting characteristics and less wind drift in target applications. The notes on seating depth indicate that rifles may respond differently, so it is best suited to handloaders who are willing to tune for their specific setup. Packaged 100 per box, it fits the needs of competitive and dedicated long-range shooters rather than general-purpose use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for competitive long-range target use, so it is not a general-purpose hunting bullet.
- The preferred seating depth can vary by rifle; some setups may need the bullet touching the rifling, while others may prefer up to .150" off.
- Performance is tied to careful load development, which may require more tuning than a simpler, more forgiving bullet design.
- Packaged 100 per box, which is practical for load work and match use but may be more than needed for occasional shooters.
