120 SMK Vs 123 SMK

[Never Forget]

What am I missing? Why are 123's about $6.00 more per box than 120's? They are both Match King. I've been running the 120's and they shoot great for me in a 6.5 x 47. I've tried both the 120 and 123 Amax, they dont group as well in my gun but they shoot the same.

Thanks, John

The SMK 123s have a secant profile (VLD) giving them a higher BC compared to the 120s tangent profile. Maybe makes them a little more expensive to produce.

Didnt even think of looking on the sierra web site for info, my bad. Also didnt realize Sierra made a bullet like a VLD, big difference in BC. Thanks for the info, my bad for being lazy and not looking first.
