CNC machined from solid copper bar are designed to fracture after 1-2” penetration down to 1600 fps. Unique band that is greater than caliber designed to act as a seal.

A 130 gr and 140 gr are also available, but are very long.

Here is the MTH recovered from gel after impact at 1996 fps:

The tip is barely starting to open at this speed. The recovered LFP weighed 119.3 gr.

The base appears flattened because it flipped after about 6" of penetration and the base struck the metal base under the gel. The LFP was recovered at the back of the second gel, or about 34" of penetration.

This LFP appears to be designed for much higher velocities than provided by the G.5 Grendel.
