Beautiful, wonderful, superb, and a boatload of other positive adjectives. Excellent would be another one. How about heavenly? RIGHTOUSLY? Ooooh that's a good one. Accurate past 400 yards? Yup. Our R&D guys took this bullet to 650 with a budget rifle. 5 round mag, every bullet hit.

My 16 inch 1:7 shoots this just fine. Only shot a couple of mags in 40 gr, but there was no cycling issue, and there was no keyholing or sideways traveling in external ballistics. Not as accurate as my Hornady SuperPerformance Varmint with a 35 gr NTX bullet, At least in my rifle
