Description

30 CAL 180 GR RN PRO-HUNTER

In rifle cartridges, these bullets are highly recommended when good expansion and deep penetration in medium and heavy game are required at short to medium ranges. These bullets achieve pinpoint accuracy due to their short lengths for their weight. This short length for a given weight allows a rifle barrel to stabilise a considerably heavier round-nose bullet than would be possible with a Spitzer-pointed bullet of the same weight, which would be significantly longer. If the shots are fast and at short ranges or the game is big and dangerous, these are the bullets to choose. The 180-grain #2170 is suited to larger game but will perform well on larger whitetails. In handguns, these bullets should be considered non-expanding in-game at normal handgun velocities. They may prove useful in situations where a heavy bullet is needed but twist rate is marginally slow, such as Handgun Silhouettes, where momentum is more important than expansion. The shorter length for a given weight of each of these bullets, compared to longer Spitzer-shaped bullets of the same weights, may provide superior stability and accuracy in some handguns. The #2170 was introduced in 1961.
