I ordered some last night. They shipped this morning and sent the tracking number.

Just got an email notice today that my bullets had shipped.

Checked Fedex and they got shipped yesterday and "Out for Delivery" today.

[Legionnaire]

Wow; they went fast!

[grayfox]

Mine are shipped, they come in tomorrow.
Yeah, it's still, in this climate, you gotta jump fast, snooze and lose... Midway had some 210GMM Federal LRPs couple days ago, but they sold out in 2 hours.

Thanks I managed to get 3 boxes. Those 120's really work well in my build.

An employee with Sierra posted on the 6.5 Grendel reloading Facebook page that they will be releasing a new bullet optimized for the Grendel, the 120 grain tipped Gameking (#4320). The bullet has a G1 BC of .466 and when asked about minimum velocity for expansion he recommended at least 1900fps.

The post was for a few people to test the bullets and I believe I will be receiving a box. It sounded too good to be true, so I called Sierra to confirm, and they provided it is legit.

I will keep you all updated if I receive them!

I talked with a Sierra tech today he told me that minimum velocity for reliable expansion was 1600 fps. Interesting the techs would have two different specs. Will test them out the SBR this year and see how they do.

I just loaded some .308 125gr TGK for 300 blackout for my brother to use on deer. The velocity average of 2315 with chrony. I hope to get a report in a few weeks when season comes in on performance of TGK at lower velocity.

I took a pic of the 120 tgk comparing to others in the standard "stable" of 120 class.
The caliper is set to about OAL of the 120 tgk, 1.308".
Compared to 120 Nosler, 107 TMK, 123 eldm, 120 tgk and the 130 tgk.

More observations.

I get a max OAL of 2.366 in my howa 22"
At 2.290 OAL the breakpoint of the boat tail is half way up the shoulder in the case, so there's some real intrusion down into the case volume. It's a pretty long boat tail too.

I'll be interested to see how they shoot, I'm hoping they do well.
