Tipstrike is constructed with a thin jacket and an aerodynamic polymer tip that ensures rapid expansion upon impact. But fast expanding, aggressive bullets always run the risk of delivering its energy too early in the game, due to thick skin, bone or other hard penetrating obstacles, Tipstrike is constructed with a unique lead-lock that offers reliable penetration all the way into the vital organs of the animal. It’s the perfect knock-down bullet for fast shots and moving targets. The first hand choice for driven hunts and other challenging hunting situation.
- .223 Remington:
- Intent: hunting
- Bullet description: tipped SP
- Ballistic coefficient: 0.245 G1
- Velocity: 3215 f/s
- For sporting purposes the cartridge is normally at its best using bullets of 60 grains or less. It is suitable for the same range of purposes as .222 Remington, and will add some yards to the effective range
- Due to the adoption by NATO the .223 is expected to be the more popular choice in a few years by European shooters
- .22-250 Remington:
- Intent: hunting
- Bullet description: tipped SP
- Ballistic coefficient: 0.245 G1
- Velocity: 3576 f/s
- The cartridge is a very good choice for this kind of hunting, provided you are careful with your bullet placement and the angle of the animal, like always when using small a caliber on a larger species
- For roe deer it is recommended to use a heavy bullet to obtain a controlled expansion and a sufficient penetration
- Due the higher velocity a good many rifles in .22-250 can handle bullets up to 70 grains well in spite of having a standard twist of 1 in 14 inches, but most rifles will make the best groupings with bullets weighing 55-62 grains
- Due to the ratio between caliber and case capacity the .22-250 can sometimes be very sensitive to reload. Small variations in loads and seating depth of the bullet can cause precision to suffer significantly
- However, it has a reputation of outstanding precision and is still one of the best choices for varmint hunting
