55gr SP Varmint Hunting Performance

The 55gr SP is intended for varmint hunting where rapid expansion is important. Furthermore, its 55 grain weight gives it a .157 sectional density.

At the same time, the .235 G1 BC helps the bullet retain useful speed and reduce the effects of wind at range. As a result, it offers a practical option for hunters targeting jackal and other suitable varmints.

However, actual results depend on the cartridge, rifle, load and impact conditions. Therefore, hunters should confirm the bullet’s performance in their individual rifle before hunting.
