Velocity, energy, trajectory, and 10 mph crosswind drift are published by Remington. Trajectory uses a 100-yard zero with sights 1.5 inches above the bore. Remington does not publish 100-yard-zero trajectory beyond 300 yards on these product pages, so those cells are marked “Not published.”
Bullet Design and Intended Use
The green polymer tip improves flight and initiates expansion, while the Core-Lokt jacket is tuned for big-game performance. Remington lists this load for big game and long-range use.
