- It is possible to exceed 2,100 fps with 110gr. bullets while remaining within SAAMI max average pressure limits of 40,000 CUP.
This ammo is not intended to be cheap blaster or plinking ammo—though it can be used that way.
- Designed for self-defense.
- Capable of harvesting game up to 200 lbs.
Performance notes:
- Three Buffalo Bore .30 M1 Carbine loads approach 2,100 fps in various carbines.
