Odd duck?? Care to elaborate??

Only that Speer has been an old school bullet manufacturer for forever.seeing a polymer tip hollow point is just a change of pace. Wonder how they have done for other.

Don't know bout the 190 but the other Speer bullets I've shot shoot good and kill really well

Just starting to work with the 190. Getting 2950 fps in 300WSM but until I can get to range only doing chrono load work just to do something. Seem to be consistent on ogive measurements with range about 0.002 which for hunting bullet ok by me. Once I can stretch it out will post up.

 

[Steelflight]

I eagerly await your results. Going to get my rifle worked on then fiddle with this round.

I am really curious on the BC (0.597) accuracy and not sure if I can get to a place to stretch it out to see how it stacks against calculated MOA settings. Speer doesn't provide how the BC was arrived at whether calculated, measured, Doppler etc.

For sure! But I have to be extremely cautious and stay fully isolated since my wife has a depressed immune system from a serious life threatening condition she had 10 years ago this July. Very lucky she made it so I (we) cannot take any chances to go to market etc. We saw this coming and shopped accordingly beforehand so we are ok for at least another 3 weeks if we have to without contact with neighbors or family. Have 2 granddaughters 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 is hard to miss seeing them. Facetime is OK but not the same. SO my jaunts to range will be once this quiets down a bit.

You are a great man for taking so much caution. I wish her well!

Tagging in...waiting for these to travel over the border in to Canada.

Looks like Speers version of the ABLR line of bullets. Tagging in for results as well.

Curious to hear any follow up or review for this one. The 6.5mm 140 appears to be a good one as well
