This bullet is fantastic in my remington! I have used it with benchmark and RL-10X and it is superbly accurate! Out to 300 yards, I think this bullet has a place. Beyond that the low BC will hinder performance. Appears to be a top choice among dog hunters these days. Let us know how they work out for you.

I use 28.0 of 4895 in my Encore and these bullets shoot better then any others I have tried and I have tried almost all of them. One hole accurate if I am on my game. Not all day long however.. : )
