Key Features
Ammunition Configuration
- **Projectile Type:** Features a 147-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullet, engineered for consistent trajectory and reliable feeding in semi-automatic and bolt-action platforms. The FMJ design mitigates lead fouling in barrels and promotes predictable terminal ballistics for target practice.
- **Primer System:** Utilizes a non-corrosive, Boxer-primed system. This configuration ensures consistent ignition and facilitates the clean burning necessary for reliable weapon function, while also allowing for subsequent reloading of the spent brass casings.
- **Casing Material:** Constructed with high-quality brass casings, recognized for their durability and dimensional consistency. The brass composition contributes to smooth cycling and, as a Boxer-primed casing, offers utility for reloaders.
