I ordered two boxes also. They are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'll report back with what I discover.

FWIW, I received the 120g Tipped Boat Tail Factory Seconds from Midway today. The tip color is reddish, dark like maroon, almost brown. Maybe Hornady SST like? Also picked up some 123g FMJ during the free shipping. Previously had bought the 129g and liked them. Glad I did, showing unavailable now but may pop ug again.

Dark maroon with an opaque look to it is the color on Hornady ELD-M tips.

[ragrendel]

Thanks for the info! That's how I would describe the color, and opaque hits the mark.

What COL can you load them to without jamming the lands?

[ragrendel]

My grendel is an AR, so have stayed around 2.260 for the magazine feeding.

So yours are red tipped? Mine are dark green.

They are dark green tipped, but have the cannalure and shape like the 129 SST. I presume the green tip comes because they were setting up the run and used nonstandard tips to designate they are seconds.

[Rocco_1995]

Maybe so. The boattail and cannelure looks a little off from the sst. Go look at this https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/rem...on-review/?amp

That's interesting. Maybe they're doing a private label for Remington. I wonder if the Remington Corelok is really a Hornady SST?
