Sorry, John. I just don't buy it. AA published the gel test of the developmental version of the 123gr MatchKing, so I see no rational excuse to not do the same for a gel test that's done of the pre-production 110gr FMJ.
In the seemingly unlikely event that the bullet weight or shape changes as a result of the current testing, then any new gel test results would simply obsolete the old.
First impressions don't matter that much with gel tests. Tests are constantly re-done when changes are made to bullet designs.
As for the belt-feed issue, that's a whole different story. First, I never conjectured that 6.5 Grendel won't work in belt-feds. Other people misunderstood or intentionally distorted what I wrote.
But a gel test photo isn't subject to such errors. It unmistakeably shows onset of yaw, permanent cavity, etc.
