This cartridge is loaded with a jacketed hollow point, which has a nose cavity designed to unleash rapid and deadly expansion after it pierces a smaller critter’s skin. Even if the varmint were capable of comprehending the concept of “expanding terminal performance,” it wouldn’t have time to appreciate it after getting slapped with a JHP. This round’s bullet is a little lighter than average at 50 grains, which is why its muzzle velocity is about 200 fps faster than usual. That serves up the flatter trajectory which simplifies shooting small game!
UMC stands for Union Metallic Cartridge – it’s a brand name that has no implications for this ammo’s performance. Remington makes this ammo in Arkansas with reloadable brass cases and noncorrosive Boxer primers, as well as the consistent propellant charges each bullet needs to achieve a 0.192 G1 ballistic coefficient.
