I was through Sedalia last year and bought some of the "new" 135 grain .308 bullets intended for the Blackout. I loaded some in a 308 Win using Federal match cases, standard primer and a moderate load. I followed the Sierra advice to keep it slow, looking for between 2500 and 2800 FPS.
I just shot several 5 shot 100 yard groups in the 1/3 to 1/4 inch range, using a stock 1980's 700 VS in a "tacticool" stock and a 6-20 Viper.
No question this silly little bullet would make a fine eastern woodchuck bullet or coyote bullet. I was impressed with the accuracy (especially since these are "2nds") and lack of recoil in a 308. I mention this because it would make a fine reduced recoil round for a beginner. My daughter regularly shoots 168 MKs in the 308 and likes it, but I noted a significant change in her demeanor and her bench manners when we switched over.
it is worth a look-see.
