Not too many years ago, factory
loads were available in this weight. While this bullet is definitely a short range proposition, it can develop over 1900
ft/lb of energy at 100 yards. With a 100 yard zero it is 8 inches low at 200 and 15 inches low at 300 yards. Nonetheless,
it hits like a pile driver at ranges where hunters encounter game. It's high sectional density (.316) plays a big part.
215 grain jacketed bullets used to be made by Remington and CIL of Canada, but no more.
