Ally Munitions Field Notes

We’ve tested this load across a variety of platforms and barrel lengths. Results show:

  • Reliable expansion and deep penetration on whitetail and hogs

  • Excellent retained energy beyond 300 yards

  • Works well in 16–24” barrels with standard 1:7–1:8 twist rates

  • Functions well suppressed and unsuppressed; mild blowback may occur with traditional suppressors

  • Not ideal for predator hunting due to the bullet's controlled expansion and energy transfer profile
