FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does HPBT mean?

HPBT stands for Hollow Point Boat-Tail. The hollow point is part of the projectile’s accuracy-focused construction, while the tapered boat-tail helps reduce aerodynamic drag.

Is this hunting ammunition?

This load is primarily designed for target and match shooting. An HPBT match projectile should not be assumed to provide controlled expansion like a purpose-built hunting projectile.

What is the published muzzle velocity?

PPU lists a muzzle velocity of approximately 2,953 fps or 900m/s. Actual velocity will depend on the rifle, barrel length and shooting conditions.

What is its ballistic coefficient?

The published G1 ballistic coefficient is .603, supporting good velocity retention and reduced wind drift at extended distances.

How many rounds are supplied?

Each box contains 10 factory-loaded cartridges.

Can the fired cases be reloaded?

The ammunition uses quality brass cases that may be retained for reloading. Cases must be carefully inspected, correctly prepared and reloaded only with reputable published data.
