Alco .308 230 grain bullets

Has anyone used or tested these 230 grain bullets from Alco? On their web page they list a G1 B/C of .890.

If the numbers are remotely accurate it would ballistically outperform the 230 Berger HT by a fair margin, although I suspect MV would be lower with what appears to be a long bearing surface.

Remember the Whisky Three Precision bullets that many of us warned others about but we were just stupid haters for saying the BC's were way of, ya those were Alco's. Litz has shot some so there are solid numbers out there.

See, now this is why I asked! I had doubts that they could be that much better than the Berger 230 but to hear .685 G1, wow! Thanks guys!
