So the 113gr BBT OEP ( Ball bearing tipped) arrived over night and as I suspected these look to be a better fit for the grendel case ( smaller groove in the middle).
A quick test load to max mag length had the overall length at 2.330. Test feed all good, no rifling marks so the long sleek ogive design of 19.5mm look s good at this stage.
a few pics, 103gr SMK and the 103gr OEP HP for perspective.
0.265 x 100% = 0.265
Doubling in size is x2, which is 200%. So they mean 220% expansion?
