Engineered for the discerning big game hunter, this high-performance rifle cartridge combines advanced ballistics with devastating terminal performance. The 160-grain projectile, featuring Nosler's proprietary Ballistic Tip design, achieves a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps and generates 3637 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle when fired from a 26-inch barrel with a 1:9" twist rate. This combination of speed and power makes it particularly effective for taking down deer-sized game and larger animals at extended ranges. The Ballistic Tip bullet incorporates a boat-tail design with a polymer tip, enhancing its aerodynamic properties and ensuring controlled expansion upon impact. Hunters seeking flat trajectories and substantial downrange energy will find this ammunition well-suited for open country and mountain hunting scenarios.
