Description
For the handloader caught between ordinary and extra heavy
The common 240-grain .429 bullet may be lighter than the job calls for, while a 300-grain bullet can be more weight than the intended load or firearm needs. The traditional 265-grain class provides a useful middle answer, especially for lever-rifle and .444 Marlin handloaders searching for a jacketed flat nose.
The 265-grain Gold Country Rhino occupies that middle-heavy position. Its exposed-lead wide flat nose and reinforced jacket distinguish it from conventional handgun hollow points and from the heavier 300-grain Rhino.
This listing is for 50 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and load data are not included. The bullets are hand swaged in small batches, made to order and normally ship within seven business days.
What this choice changes
Choosing 265 grains changes the loading problem, not merely the label. Published data, seating depth, cartridge length, pressure, velocity, recoil, chamber fit and feeding must all be considered for the exact cartridge and firearm. The bullet’s construction does not guarantee accuracy, penetration or a particular field result.
