Great in Bond Arms Cyclops
This ammo is very accurate in a Bond Arms Cyclops, especially after you get a full size after market grip.

Excellent expansion
This round shoots very well out of my Henry rifle and the bullet mushrooms perfectly. I jave recovered 2 bullets from white tail deer when they were shoot looking at me. Both bullets penetrated the full length of the deer and came to rest in the hind quarters. One measured 0.8" in diameter and the other 0.9. Weight retention was excellent. I high recommended this round for hunting.
