Special Features

- Flex Tip polymer insert in the nose cavity compresses on impact to start expansion while remaining safe for use in tubular magazines.
- Ballistically efficient ogive profile improves aerodynamics over traditional flat nose bullets, giving lever rifles flatter trajectory and better downrange performance.
- Heavy jacket and solid body work together to control expansion, keeping the bullet driving straight through bone and dense tissue on medium and larger game animals.
- Lead free construction appeals to hunters who must meet non lead regulations or who prefer copper based projectiles without giving up terminal performance.

- The 140 grain weight and copper alloy body offer a balance of speed and penetration, making this bullet ideal for medium game and capable on some larger animals within reasonable distances.
- Improved ballistic coefficient over flat nose bullets helps your 30-30 loads shoot flatter and hold energy better, which extends your practical range in open country or mixed cover.
- The Flex Tip nose and monolithic construction support reliable expansion across typical 30-30 velocities from carbine length barrels, so you can trust consistent on game behavior from woods ranges out to the cartridge’s effective distance.
