Description

Speer Boat Tail Soft Point 284cal 145grain 1628

Extend your range on the medium game with Speer Boat-Tail bullets. Designed for the long-range shooter, these bullets’ tapered heel flattens trajectories and decrease wind drift. On impact, they expand rapidly for quick, clean kills.

➼ Designed for long-range shooting
➼ Boat-tail design and tapered heel
➼ High ballistic coefficient and a flat trajectory
➼ Rapid expansion ideal for white-tailed deer and antelope
 

Best Suited For

  • Medium-sized game hunting (e.g., deer, goats, similar-sized animals)
  • General-purpose 7mm hunting loads
  • Cartridges like:
    • 7mm-08 Remington
    • .280 Remington
    • 7mm Remington Magnum
  • Hunters wanting good terminal performance without excessive recoil

When To Use It

  • When you need reliable expansion and controlled penetration
  • For short to medium hunting distances (50–300+ meters)
  • When using moderate to high velocity 7mm cartridges
  • Ideal for light-to-midweight bullet applications where flatter trajectory is beneficial

💡 Compared to heavier 160–175gr bullets, the 145gr offers flatter trajectory and less recoil, making it versatile for general hunting.
