Category MAXIMUS®
CUTTING EDGE BULLETS

Subsonic Maximus 280-gr, flat base, lead-free solid copper, Swiss-lathe CNC-turned. Built to operate at subsonic speeds and drop game quickly and quietly. Instead of mushrooming, the hollow point sheds 4 large blades after ~1–2″ while the base continues straight. Minimum expansion ≥ 800 fps. SealTite® band improves gas seal, reduces blow-by and fouling. Excellent choice for 338 ARC rifles.
