Identify this 223 bullet

By going to Midsouth Shooters Supply and searching for all 62gr bullets of that diameter, Sierra SBT Gamechanger is the only one that is close.

Looks like the same pic, also.

Thank you! Looking for some prospective projectiles for NC deer.
 
I have stopped buying seconds. The first batch I bought was amazing, every order since would only get 1.5 MOA at best. That is fine for most hunting and self defense functions but leaves me wanting.
 
Seconds are fine for plinking, but when hunting or for defense, buy a box of the same bullets, load them, and have the confidence the bullet will go where you aim it, and do it's job.
 
There is a big difference in what some sellers sell as "seconds", versus others. I have heard a lot of stories about products bought from certain big sellers of seconds in respect to deformities, big weight deviation, etc. That said - I have bought probably 30,000+ seconds from Shooter's Pro Shop (all Nosler product) and it is hard, if not impossible, to distinguish them from first line bullets. I have weighed them, inspected them, etc. - but more importantly shot them. I use them for practice in my target rifles and by the thousands when shooting at varmints. They group as well and perform as well as any other bullets I have used. I also haven't heard any bad news of Nosler seconds. I can say that I've never tossed any that looked bad - so that is something. I don't know this for a fact (this is the internet!) - but I'm pretty sure Nosler doesn't let the crap bullets out of their manufacturing facility, whereas with some other manufacturers - that seems to not be the case. I've heard bad stories of blems coming out of Midsouth and Natchez. I don't know the brands they sell - and I've not bought them from Midway either. seems some of those sellers expect you to sort out the crap bullets (and there may be a lot of them in some lots). If ordering up some blems from a new place, I certainly wouldn't order a lot of them the first time.

I will agree with SPS. My Nosler seconds, cannot even find the blemish and they all shoot great.
 
Midway's pics NEVER match when it comes to blem bullets. But that bullet is unique enough that the guy probably got it right.
