Mystery 105 tipped bullet at midway

[waspocrew]

I picked up 4 boxes recently - will be trying them out in my 6 ARC and 6 CM.

 

[Dude270]

I got 500. I'm planning on trying them in a couple different 6mms but I'm gonna load some up to try in my 6br this week.
I'll report back

Does a 6br ever not shoot sub moa tho? It's like throw 30gr of varget in there and shoot small!

That's true, haha.
30 grains of varget is exactly what I'm gonna throw and just to take a look at the group.

If these things won't shoot OK in the 6br there is no hope for them.

I don’t need more 6mm boolits…. I don’t need more 6mm boolits…. I don’t need more 6mm boolits….

Subbed in for the mystery.

That's my motto with a 6br, drop in 30gr of dogshit and shoot tiny groups. Dasher is same, but 31.5gr dogshit!

 

[Dude270]

Finally got around to trying these in my sporter weight 6br. I loaded 10 rounds with 30 gr of varget and seated the bullets. 020" off the lands. I got a 10 shot group just under MOA. Seems like they shoot fine.

Midway dropped the price down to about 21 bucks a hundred now as well.

I tested many seating depths with these at 3 different charges in a known accurate rig, these bullets don't shoot that well.

 

[PanhandlePilgrim]

I wonder if these are the same mystery bullets that Midsouth has. I've been eyeballing those for awhile.

 

[KyleR1985]

They caught my eye till I saw the price. They’re more expensive than known performers.

 

[Dude270]

I just saw the midsouth 105. Maybe that's the same?

As mentioned, the midsouth price doesn't put them any cheaper than 108s.

Anyone else play with these lately?

I did a quick pressure test with them for my 6 ARC. New Alpha brass, Fed 205, Lever. 20” Howa Mini.

92* felt like a decent time to test out Lever so there’s no surprises when shooting in warm temps.

29.0 - 2601
29.3 - 2633
29.6 - 2659
29.9 - 2692 (faint ejector swipe and increase bolt lift)
30.2 - 2734 (prominent ejector swipe and heavy bolt lift)
30.5 - did not shoot.

All shot at 300 yard steel into what seemed like a decent cluster. Will be loading up more soon to see how they actually shoot.
