Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a target bullet, so it is not intended to be presented as a hunting-specific option.
- Load tuning may be required; some rifles are described as preferring the bullet touching the rifling, while others may need up to .150" off the rifling.
- The 80gr 22 caliber format is specialized for compatible rifles and applications, so it is not a general-purpose choice.
- Sold in a 100-count box, which may be more than needed for shooters who only want a small test quantity.
