Used these bullets in a competition match and saw consistent group sizes. The velocity held well at 300 yards. Very reliable and matches the performance described in the specs.
Oliver Fisher –
Excellent consistency in shot placement. The boat tail design helped maintain velocity in crosswinds. Great for long-range precision shooting.
Nicholas Edmunds –
Good performance in my F-Class setup. The bullet groups were tight, though I had to ensure my barrel twist was at least 1 in 10. Slightly more expensive than other options, but worth it for accuracy.

Highly consistent and predictable. Used in multiple matches with no variation in performance. The HPBT design gives excellent wind resistance.
