Key Features

Key Features

This bullet is design to expand in a very aggressive way to explode upon impact. Generated fragments are so small that it also minimizes the risk of ricochet.

The hollow-point design of the Varmint RX offers devastating fragmentation on impact.

The Varmint RX bullet retains more of its velocity down range which flattens its trajectory. The particular shape helps the bullet retain more of its energy and hit its target harder than other similar but slower projectiles. With a better resistance to wind drift, the advantage of the boat-tail becomes self-apparent at long range.
