Description
For the .243 hunting load that favors 95 grains and a rebated boat tail
A hunting rifle may show a preference for the 95-grain class while the handloader still wants an exposed soft point and a specific base geometry. That choice should be available without settling for a generic component description.
Gold Country makes this 95-grain Viper as the hunting-first, rebated-boat-tail path. Its exposed-lead soft-point nose identifies the intended expansion role, while the base geometry distinguishes it from the flat-base Viper and open-tip Scorpion.
This is a box of component bullets, not loaded ammunition. Construction establishes the design intent; the completed load, rifle, distance, angle and impact conditions determine the actual result.

- Exposed-lead soft-point spitzer

Choose the neighboring construction
Choose the 95-grain flat-base Viper when that simpler base geometry is the useful comparison. Choose the 95-grain Scorpion rebated boat tail when an open tip and precision-oriented construction better match the intended load.
Cartridge cases, primers, powder and load data are not included. Use an appropriate published load-data source and verify cartridge dimensions, seating, twist, firearm condition and safe function for the individual rifle.
