Today I received what I think are blems of an as of yet unreleased Sierra tipped bonded hunting bullet.
I saw this box of 500 "Bonded Polymer Tipped" 30 cal seconds on PV about a week ago with what looked suspiciously like a Sierra pattern SKU:
Curiosity got the better of me after a few days because no such bullet exists on the market, so I ordered a box to check out. Upon receiving them this evening and comparing them with the 165gr Sierra TGKs I had previously bought from PV, I have to say it certainly appears that they are a bonded version of the TGK. Here are some pictures I took of the boxes and bullets (TGK box, and two lighter colored bullets on the left), I assume "BGK" must stand for "Bonded GameKing". I also hack sawed one in half as best I could and can't pry the core out, so it certainly appears to be bonded.
What do you think? First runs of the long requested bonded Sierra hunting bullet?
