Used this bullet in a recent deer hunt and saw consistent expansion and deep penetration. The bullet performed well in the field and hit the target with good accuracy. No issues with feeding or consistency in the rifle.
Michelle Walker –
Good performance in my .224 rifle. The bullet expanded reliably and retained weight well. Slightly more expensive than some alternatives, but the reliability justifies the cost.

Excellent for varmint and small game hunting. The polymer tip helps with faster expansion and the bullet didn’t fragment prematurely. Works well in cold weather conditions.
