TIPSTRIKE™ is developed for stopping power, combined with a penetration deep enough to reach the vital organs of the game. The polymer tip assures the expansion and gives a devastating shock effect due to the construction of the bullet jacket. To maintain a high retention weight, the jacket is reinforced with a mechanical lock, thus making TIPSTRIKE an outstanding bullet for driven hunts and other forms of hunting where an immediate stop is crucial.
This bullet will transfer energy very quickly and limit penetration. This bullet will do best with thin skinned and lighter boned animals like deer and pronghorn. This bullet is often the most accurate in it's weight class during testing and fits well into the shorter cases due to the flat base. This is an excellent choice for thin skinned animals out to moderate ranges. The moderate launch velocity of the 7-08 matches well with this bullet.
This round is designed to fit and function through standard short actions and magazines with standard twist rates.
We measure each powder charge to within +/- .02 grains on our Autotrickler powder systems. We seat each bullet with Redding competition seat dies on our Forster Co-Ax single stage press. We load them one at a time! Each round is hand measured for consistency and placed into our hard plastic, twenty count boxes. Each box has a foam insert and neoprene strap to keep your rounds secure in the field. This is loaded ammunition. Twenty (20) rounds per box.
