2836 fps23.8558.981″.788″.615″
  • Fairly high standard deviation and extreme spread
  • Fastest load tested
  • Very high velocity combined with highest in group BC makes for a very good long range load.
  • The “rebel” of the group, non conforming 167gr and high velocity, we view that as a good thing.
