bullets, Especially the 165gr SPT and the new TGK??

Bought a box of50 for use in .308WIN, have dwindling load rounds using the 165 SPT and just want to know what to expect for the TGK?

Thanks.

Load data will be the same or very close as one loads for the bullet weight not the construction. Or who made the bullet. And the point doesn't make any difference at all. It's the base that matters.
There's nothing 'new' about a polymer tipped bullet either. No$ler has sold 'em for eons. So has Remington and CIL before them. Albeit neither of those are remotely recent.
"...what to expect..." Regarding what?

Boat tail and plastic tip. Oh, and price!

Spoke with Sierra Tech and just use it no difference with the other two 165 SBT & HPBT
