Key Performance Features
- Heat Shield® Tip: The polymer tip is designed to resist aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape and consistent BC throughout the entire flight path.
- InterLock® Ring: A mechanical "locking" ring that keeps the core and jacket together, ensuring 50-60% weight retention during high-velocity impacts (0–400 yards).
- All-Range Expansion: At extended ranges (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion, providing a controlled mushroom and 85-90% weight retention.
