The A-Square "Triad" bullets all have the same shape,
and supposedly same BC, so same trajectory/POI if you succeed in loading them to same MV for same caliber and weight bullets.
They differ in lengths for same weight in same caliber.
Shortest: Lion Load soft
It is a horribly frangible bullet that might get you killed on DG, varmint grenade use is best.
Medium Length: Dead Tough Soft Point
Excellent bullet with bonded core and thick jacket.
Longest: Monolithic Solid
The hemispherical nose shape on the A-Square Monolithic is not the best. Round Nose solids go squirrely easier than FN solids.
But if your bolt-action rifle won't feed a better nose shape, then the RN will have to do.
In summary, I would not think there is anything highly desirable about the A-Square bullets, so it's not worth paying a premium for them,
except to the guy who wants to top off his stash of what is made no more.
The Dead Tough is the best design, but Woodleigh Weld Cores and Swift A-Frames will serve as well,
or better.
