Use / positioning
A versatile hunting bullet for lever guns (run no-tip) and bolt actions (run tipped); can be flipped for deep, straight-through performance. Suited for 0–500 yd hunting with controlled upset.

Design & terminal effect
CNC-turned brass with BBW#13 profile on both ends for very straight penetration. Raptor mechanism: no mushrooming—six petals at 1–2 in while the solid shank continues straight for depth. Tips press-fit or seat lightly on a flat surface.
