Use / positioning
“Solid” optimized for lever guns; also suitable in bolt and properly regulated double rifles. Excels at short/medium ranges when straight-line travel and maximum depth are paramount.

Design & terminal effect
Lathe-turned monolithic brass; 67% BBW#13™ meplat for class-leading straight penetration. 3 + 1 driving bands lower friction/pressure. Slightly narrower band spacing than Nitro Express versions to enhance neck tension. Non-expanding solid shank drives straight and deep.
