Took 5 whitetail (MLD Permits) and 2 pigs with this bullet this season. Distances ranged from 75-150 yards.
Exceptional terminal performance and penetration on both broadside and quartering shots. The permanent cavity was impressive for such a small caliber and evidence indicated that rapid expansion caused significant temporary cavity as well. Most .224 hunting bullets either expand well or penetrate well. Few are able to do both. This one does! No bullets we’re recovered because they provided complete penetration and exited (even contacting bone). Something that is important for blood trails when utilizing small calibers for medium game. One bullet even penetrated and exited 17” of feral pig! Shot placement is paramount with small caliber medium game bullets. But, this bullet performs well above it’s pay grade when you do your job as a shooter. Highly recommended!
