Any idea what bullet this might be using ?
Kind of hoping some new 135gr HP "like" a Mk319 loading . The link is seriously lacking any meaningful info. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1023354876

It's not even listed on Win website. Must be a special purchase by the vendor.

Perhaps Sierra's 135 grain Match King?
I think it was recently discontinued. |

I suspect the bullet is Sierra's 135 grain HP Varminter #2124. It's quite a popular bullet in Australia.

Lake City made a low bullet weight bullet a few years ago for the SCAR 17 SBR in military to get more velocity
Lake City is Winchester now I bet this was military over run |

I’m most interested in the bullet construction. Is it just a standard HP or is this closer to mk319 round and it’s bonded?

Looks like it is available (for now anyway) at Target Sports for $2/round.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would love @Buffman_LT1 to do one of his 12" 16" and 20" gel tests. 300 blackout for this bullet also, if he reloads Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I do wish he would also do the gel test at 100 and 200 yds or even 300yds. I know the shorter barrels are supposed to represent velocities at a different range, but I want to see actual results instead of theories. |

Ammo inbound. If I have enough left I will test the theory about using our shorter barrel lengths against gel to see if they equal the results of a longer barrel at distance
