In my limited observation of these bullets, they seem to be the same shape as the SMK's. I know the .30 cal 155 and 168's are hard to tell apart (Sierra MatchKing vs Nosler CC), and heard the same of other calibers and weights.
I don't know about the jackets so can't speak to terminal performance.
Most who favor the Nosler CC's always highlight the price point.
I shoot a lot of the 155's at paper in my vintage military rifles and they have been just as accurate as Sierra MK but they cost a lot less. I have never used them on any game but would like to know anybodies experience with them on game myself. They have J4 jackets just like the Berger bullets.

You know what they say, Bryan; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Better watch it, or those Noslers will start looking like Bergers somewhere down the road!
