This Stage 3 Afterburner is optimized for .308” caliber cartridges with a bit less case size, such as the 308 Win, 30-06, or 300 WSM, or for those that prefer running mono metal bullets at higher muzzle velocities in large chamberings. A 30-06 with this 168gr covers well over 90% of big game hunting worldwide.

Like other Stage 3 releases, the loading behavior of this bullet is incredibly forgiving, thus reducing variation and inconsistencies around component selection and seating depth adjustments. This allows the ability to find accuracy nodes with ease and with a variety of combinations.

The terminal performance of this bullet is substantial, capable of all ungulates here in the States and most of Africa.  The shrapnel damage is high and the penetration deep for hard angled shots on big-bodied game, even on heavy bone, while at the same time capable of full deployment on a broadside hit of a smaller animal at 1650 fps impact velocity.

As our first Stage 3 bullet optimized around smaller case capacities in .308” caliber, we expect this to be a big hit with those looking for overall balance in their setups with a bullet that offers high muzzle velocities, an excellent BC, and top-tier terminal performance in all scenarios.
