These 55 grain bullets have a polymer tip to help split the lead, giving you a small entry hole and great expansion. Leaving the barrel at a little ver 3200 fps, they can drop even a deer with their 1200+ ft lbs of energy. 

These 3 piece bullets give good penetration and expansion, allowing you to save the pelts without extreme amounts of damage.

For their price point, it’s worth giving them a try even just for cleaning up small game or plinking, it’s a great value for the fun.
