I'd be happy enough with that, but they do have a green tip and the 6765 SKU seems to match the Sierra SKU pattern, and PV sells many other barely concealed Sierra blems, including the TGKs I bought a year ago. I thought it was interesting enough to bring up, the list of folks who make a green tip bonded, boat tail 165gr .30 cal bullet... Yet.... Is pretty damned short. I'm used to buying all kinds of Nosler blems from SPS, this certainly isn't a Nosler creation in my opinion.

Edit: to your point, I looked back and I have bought Hornady blems from PV as well, 6mm 80gr CX bullets. The green tip is off, but could conceivably be an OEM bullet for an ammo manufacturer.

I did crush the bullet a few different ways in my vise and it's damned sure bonded by someone. Clear as day that the lead in contact with the copper jacket is sticking while the main body of the lead core bulges out when crushed.
