Description
A hollow-point, boat-tailed 5.56x45mm cartridge with a lead-core bullet designed for high accuracy and rapid post-impact expansion. The boat tail shape of the bullet reduces drag and enhances stability in flight, resulting in better accuracy and extended effective range. This cartridge is primarily used for long-range hunting.
