Instead of mushrooming, six petals shear at ~3″ and radiate while the solid base drives straight and very deep. G1 BC .140. Minimum impact ≥ 1,500 fps. Standard twist recommended; not advised in barrels faster than 1:6″.

Use / positioning
Hunting bullet for medium to very large game in .416 systems, pairing controlled upset with deep, straight-line base penetration—ideal for bolt guns and Nitro Express doubles.

Design & terminal effect
CNC-turned brass; BBW#13™ 67% meplat for terminal stability; 3+1 bands reduce friction/pressure. Six petals begin to shear at ~3″ (≈ 76 mm) and move outward as the solid rear continues straight for maximum depth. Lead-free.
