UPDATE: RESULTS ARE ON PAGE TWO FOR 120gr Sierra Pro Hunter and 120 gr Prvi HPBT
A bullet is A bullet until it isn’t...
Speer’s GoldDot isn’t from another planet, it wasn’t forged from the belly of a volcano - so why is it the only 120 grain bullet with a posted velocity 200 FPS faster than any other bullet/powder combination.
I’m not buying that Alliant’s competition doesn’t have ‘similar’ powders of the same burn rate that can’t push the GoldDot to the same speeds.
Not for nothing but somebody is going to transfer that load data to another manufacturers 120 grain bullet and find out that Powder in the eyes doesn’t feel good.
The mythical GoldDot/Power Pro MR load that just now comes to the Grendel scene , 10 years after everything’s been accomplished , and I’m supposed to believe it’s just a fluke???
Plated jacket , sexy BC , I ain’t buying it...
What if I put some nickel boron on these can I get 2900 FPS
I’ll eat my words IF
I load the bullet and powder combo and it achieves the rated velocity AND is subMOA.
I’ll buy 10k bullets if it is bonded and performs like the venerable (discontinued) Speer DeepCurl bullet which was on the market for less than 2 years and then pulled due to ‘unexpected/rapid pressure spikes’
