Speer built this 85 gr 6mm jacketed soft point boat-tail (part no. 1213) for shooters stretching their range on medium game. Speer‘s tapered boat-tail heel flattens trajectory and cuts wind drift compared to a flat-base bullet, while the jacketed soft-point nose is built to expand rapidly on impact for a quick, clean kill. This is a component bullet for handloaders, not a loaded round.
