Field Notes from Ally Munitions
Initial lab results and field testing suggest best performance comes from longer barrels (20–24"), where velocities are highest and SDs consistently tighten. Despite a slight anomaly in the 18” barrel, which is currently under further review, group sizes have remained tight across all platforms tested.
This round is currently being field tested on coyotes, foxes, and other varmint-sized game, and is expected to show rapid expansion and devastating results within its effective velocity window.
