50gr SP Varmint Hunting Performance

The 50gr SP is intended for varmint hunting rather than deep-penetrating big-game use. Because of this, rapid expansion is a key part of its design.

The .214 G1 ballistic coefficient also gives useful flight performance for a 50 grain varmint bullet. At the same time, the match-grade copper jacket supports consistent bullet manufacture.

For example, suitable applications can include jackal and other appropriate varmints. However, hunters should always consider the cartridge, rifle, load and local hunting requirements.
