The pursuit of precision demands tools that meet the highest standards, and for shooters seeking unrivaled accuracy at extreme ranges, the 22 caliber 95 grain HPBT (#1396) stands in a class of its own. This bullet is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring a sleek 27 caliber elongated ogive designed to enhance its ballistic coefficient. The result? Superior wind resistance and exceptional velocity retention over long distances.
Engineered for precision shooting, this projectile incorporates a unique bearing surface to ogive junction—a feature leveraging the same 1.5-degree angle found in many match rifle chamber throats. This design ensures precise bullet-to-bore alignment, crucial for consistent performance shot after shot.
Globally recognized under the MatchKing® banner for setting records in accuracy, these bullets excel on competition grounds rather than hunting fields. While capable of varmint control when necessary, they lack the explosive expansion offered by alternatives like Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts at equivalent velocities.
For optimal performance with this high-precision round, ensure your firearm has a barrel twist rate of 1x6.5" or faster—an imperative consideration given its sophisticated design requirements.
Ballistic coefficients are detailed as follows: .600 at velocities above 1600 fps; .556 between 1440 and 1600 fps; and .506 below 1400 fps. Each specification underscores their refined engineering tailored towards achieving unparalleled marksmanship excellence.
