The bullet has a G1 BC of .466 and when asked about minimum velocity for expansion he recommended at least 1900fps.
The post was for a few people to test the bullets and I believe I will be receiving a box. It sounded too good to be true, so I called Sierra to confirm, and they provided it is legit.
I will keep you all updated if I receive them!
I talked with a Sierra tech today he told me that minimum velocity for reliable expansion was 1600 fps. Interesting the techs would have two different specs. Will test them out the SBR this year and see how they do.
