Description
The Cutting Edge MTH (Match/Tactical/Hunting) .224 inch 55 Grain bullet (brand part no. MTH 224 55) is a lead-free, all-copper projectile from Cutting Edge Bullets, sold 50 to a box for .22-caliber handloaders. The MTH line is CNC-machined from solid copper bar stock and designed for magazine feeding in all rifles, carrying a patented SealTite band slightly larger than caliber diameter that eliminates fliers by preventing gas blow-by while also cutting the copper fouling common to mono-metal bullets. Rather than mushrooming, this bullet fractures after 1-2 inches of penetration, sending 3-4 petals radiating outward to create massive trauma, and it is rated to expand reliably down to 1700 fps.
