The DM31A1 is a lead-free cartridge for the German Armed Forces with enhanced penetration capabilities. It is designed for use with repeater rifles and semi-automatic firearms for precision shooters and snipers. It has a hard core bullet consisting of a hardened steel core with a gas check. This guarantees high effectiveness against hard targets. The use of components without lead or heavy metals minimises exposure.
