Pretty funny we live in a world where Sierra match Kings are considered a "budget bullet".
These are a hidden gem and they do shoot! Very economical in today's world. Just found them for 22.50 per box of 100.

I looked at the website. It doesn't show a price for any of their bullets. That or I'm just not seeing it.Look into these Vapor trails automated VTAC 103 gr , last ones I ordered were about half the cost of Bergers and shot very well.

I can't get that cheap but my shipping is $12 no matter how many you buy. You can buy 10k and it's still $12.

70g Speer TNT is an incredible accurate bullet in a short throat twisted 12-14 twists up to 3850 out of the 243 AI I have shot them in. Due to thin jacket and soft core, they do not tend to do will with high RPM, but I do not know the RPM threshold they will take.
I have shot incredible groups with a 6 XC throated for the 107g Sierra with H4350 and R#17 in a 31",8t with the accuracy node at 3150 using an RAS Tuner/Brake.
Last week I tried shooting the 105g Hornady bthp in my Dasher, had a problem. Throat is .2435, and bullet shank is .2435.

Where? I tried one box in my 6br and shot a 5 1/2 in group at 1000 with those things a while back. they cost me 35c each.
I have blem .224 bullets from midway. Look like vmax. They shoot crazy good and were crazy cheap. I should have bought 10k. Keep an eye out for blems on midway and stock up. I wouldn't be surprised if they get blem eldm.

Best I could do a couple weeks ago was 28.5 cents each from buds. Bought 500 of them.

Are we referring to the Speer # 1206 70 gr bullet. I've never tried them but can get some at $26.99 Can ( $19.99 US ). If it is the ones referred to I will give them a try.

with the 12T, zero freebore reamer in 243 AI, the 70g tnt shot in the 2's. My hunting partner and I never had premature blow ups.
With the 105g Hornady, the jury is still out. 107g Sierra is a very, very accurate bullet.

thx. works out to 32c each with ship to me.
I just ordered #700 105 hpbt from brownells. promo code TTB10 for 10% off over 200 bucks. worked out to 30cents each delivered. FYI. here are 3 shots with them i did last week at 1000 yds on 10in plate. the 105's are the light strikes on left. good enuf for me! I dont think would want to use them in matches but for plinking and practice.

The one positive thing to come out of this shortage (the new normal) is that people have started testing things they never would have tested before. And seen the results for THEMSELVES. Instead of just following the buzz and the experts on the Interwebs.
Which appears to have been largely incorrect, interestingly enough.

That would be a YouTube channel I would watch.
Aside from that one guy on YouTube that tests stuff with his AR-15 head to head, I never see anyone test anything head to head and publish it.
I have had zero time to shoot, but I need to change that. I've always published my tests here.
Although, it is a thankless job. People will suddenly pop up saying "look what I found" and not give the author any credit. They just magically "discover" these hidden gems... I guess we all copy.
I do find it odd the people that folks choose these days as approved "influencers". And others are never approved. Or maybe it's not so odd after all... (Side note).

Maybe i just need to test them then. If i ever get a chance. Shooting has been at bottom of the list.

Think these are worth playing with or just leave them alone?
I'm thinking barrel break in and positional practice, not sure they would be great for a match
