Hunting & suitability

- Hunting use
- Conditional

- 30 ft·lb
- Suggested max range

Projectile alone does not establish ethical use; confirm legal species, rifle FPE, retained energy, accuracy, and shot placement. Hollowpoints are generally preferred where expansion and energy transfer matter.

PCP-oriented; verify barrel diameter/twist and magazine length.
