For Rifles - this is a high-velocity bullet designed to give precision accuracy with the explosive expansion of Sierra's Varminter-style construction.
This bullet is at its best when fired from the larger-capacity cartridges, such as the 22-250 or 220 Swift in rifles with barrels having 1x14" twist rates, stabilizing easily for excellent long-range accuracy and effective expansion. Normally, 1x12" or faster twist rates work best for medium-capacity cases, such as the 223 Remington.
These bullets are excellent for long-range varmint hunting.
For Handguns - although this bullet is of Hollow Point construction, we cannot recommend it for hunting purposes.
