A heavy bullet is necessary to provide the momentum required to knock these targets over.

The cannelure is located to give the proper overall length and crimp for all revolvers chambering these cartridges. These bullets are non-expanding and suitable for all cartridges from 38 Special to 35 Remington in revolvers, single shot pistols and rifles.
