Why Hardcast?
Unlike expanding bullets, hardcast projectiles are designed to maintain structural integrity and maximize penetration. An important characteristic when protection from large animals is the primary purpose.
Why 9mm and NAS³?
There are many situations where carrying a larger-caliber handgun simply isn’t practical. The VXT 148gr Hardcast is built to get the most out of the 9mm platform.
NAS³ cases are lighter than traditional brass cases and engineered to withstand higher operating pressures. We chose this case to help maximize the performance of the 9mm platform and drive a heavy 148gr hardcast projectile at the velocity needed for a dangerous game defense load.
This heavy-for-caliber combination prioritizes deep penetration, reliable ignition, and dependable cycling in semi-automatic handguns.
