Grains

Use / positioning
Solid for large/dangerous game when straight-line travel and maximum depth are critical (quartering shots, heavy bone, thick tissue). Suitable for bolt actions and well-regulated doubles.

Design & terminal effect
67% BBW#13™ nose for straight, deep penetration; 3 + 1 driving-band layout lowers friction/pressure. Non-expanding shank stays intact for a stable, deep main channel.
