The bullet, introduced in 1992, has been crafted to satisfy the most exacting requirements of discerning marksmen. With its roots firmly planted in precision shooting sports, it seamlessly meets the International Practical Shooting Confederation's need for a muzzle velocity of just over 1000 fps with this specific weight—a feat easily achieved by both the esteemed 10mm Auto and the versatile .40 S&W.
This projectile is not only a testament to modern ballistics but also pays homage to history. It can be adapted for use in classic firearms like the venerable .38-40 Winchester (also known as the .38 WCF), cherished among enthusiasts of single-action revolvers and rifles within Cowboy Action Shooting circles. However, note that these bullets are not sanctioned for competitive engagements.
A word on reloading techniques—these projectiles necessitate special considerations due to their lack of a cannelure for roll crimping when used with older calibers such as the .38-40. Reloaders may find it prudent to employ expanding ball sizes tailored specifically for these scenarios.
