Frequently Asked Questions

Is this load meant for varmint hunting or target shooting? It works for both; UMC is built as a high-value, high-volume line, and the jacketed hollow point still expands reliably enough for varmint work.

Why choose a lighter 45-grain bullet over standard 55-grain? The lighter bullet runs at higher velocity and expands more readily, an advantage on varmints where rapid energy transfer matters more than penetration.
