Specifications woven into your load

The Vulkan design is all about fast, decisive expansion, and every feature serves that goal. The thin front jacket lets the bullet mushroom quickly and dump energy where it lands, which is ideal for boar and deer at typical hunting ranges. Folding the jacket over the tip shields the exposed lead from deforming under recoil in the magazine, so the bullet stays true from the first round to the last. As a 170 grain projectile at .284 inch, it carries enough weight and sectional density for dependable penetration on larger animals. The Norma Vulkan 170gr blends classic construction with real world hunting results.
