- Secant ogive and optimized boat tail geometry deliver extremely low drag, giving you match-grade external ballistics in a heavy hunting bullet.
- Thick shank and InterLock ring help keep core and jacket together for controlled expansion and strong weight retention at typical high velocity impacts.
- At extended range, the tip drives back into the core to start expansion, producing a large mushroom and deep penetration even at lower impact speeds.
- ELD-X construction is tuned as an all-range hunting solution, with consistent, controlled expansion from close timber distances to long open-country shots.
