  • This bullet is the one to run for all 1:12" twist 30 cal rifles and a perfect match for the 308 Winchester.  Don't be fooled by the light weight.  This bullet will bring down large animals due to the terminal performance of the Afterburner design.  Its ballistics will match or slightly exceed those of streamlined 150 gr bullets, allowing improvements in trajectory and wind drift due to the increased muzzle velocity and shorter time of flight.  With a front projection matching the larger 153 gr, very little of this bullet intrudes into the case capacity, something vitally important for cartridges such as the 308 Winchester.

     

    For those with old Weatherby Mark Vs in 300 Weatherby sporting 1:12" twist barrels and collecting dust in the gun display, this bullet really opens up some options.  We'd love to see the dust kicked off those and see how fast this bullet can be driven!
