Yup. As far as 130gr Speer SP bought a few hundred from @GFO270 many years ago. Thought they'd be on the heavy side but they group very nicely. No targets to show you though.Question for 6.8 fans. Have you had any luck with 130gr soft point bullets in your 6.8 SPC? I am just looking for plinking bullets but want to be confident they will stabilize in my BHW 6.8 SPC II 1/11 twist barrel before buying any.
The bullet I am looking at has an ugly tip but this will be another manual loading upper set up so I am not supper worried about mag feeding.Yup.

With regards to "soft point", if the point is too soft, (i.e. pure lead) they will deform the tip and jam on the feed ramp. I experienced that with some 115gr Nosler SPs.

What twist rate is your bolt rifle barrel?I have loaded some and had ok luck in the ar platform. Mostly stick with the 90 gold dots and nosler 115 cc was lucky enough to stock up on both awhile ago.
My 6.8 spc bolt gun loves 130 to 150 grn rounds.
Inflation has not impacted the price on these 130gr bullets, in fact they are about $7.50 cheaper. Only 8 500ct batches left out of this recent group. I am tempted to order more but I haven't touched any of the last batch. I did acquire a couple of 270 Win bolt rifles since so maybe I should.I went ahead and ordered a 500ct batch of these for $53 shipped. They may not look like the projectiles in the photo. Supposedly they will be flat based soft points.
