At around 4,000 fps, this bullet tends to blow up at close range (under 300 yards) impact speed on nearly any mammal.
- Ideal for exploding Rock Chucks or foxes.
- Foxes shot under 200 yards may have an exit hole the size of a football—potentially splitting the animal in half.
- Highly effective for destroying coyotes or smaller animals.
- Hide damage is likely due to bullet fragmentation at high velocities.
Limitations for larger game:
- Only recommended for brain shots on deer or black bears.
- Body shots on animals as large as mule deer may result in insufficient penetration.
- Risk of wounding and prolonged suffering if used improperly on large game.
