Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:The ballistic Data on this bullet is wrong. For a 130 grn bullet traveling at 2263, the energy would be a relatively low 1478 ft lbs. So either the Muzzle Velocity is too low, or the energy stated is too high. - Douglas (10/28/2023)
Response:Douglas, you are correct the ME and MV got swapped. According to the manufacturer the MV on this ammunition is 2800 fps and the ME is 2263 ft lbs. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
