Anybody use Nosler 6.5mm 123gr CCs?

The 123gr Nosler Custom Competition is a fairly new bullet...curious if anybody has any first-hand experience with them.

I'm interested to know how they fly compared to the 123gr SMK..and if they're basically a copy of the Matchking like the .224 77gr and .308 168gr CCs are.

Am using in three Grendels with success. CFE/CCI 41 in Hornady brass, seated to fit three dissimilar chambers. Not quite what an SMK will do, but for most of my purposes, very usable and at a small portion of the cost if you pick them up as excess/cosmetic non primes from Nosler's Shooter's Pro Shop at around $15/100. Load to ogive, not to OAL.

I use them with no issues. They are less finicky to get them to shoot.

I haven't tried the 123's yet but did load some of the 140's and got good results out of my 260AI with them. The bulk box pricing on them is nice so I will be trying the 123's soon.
