Description
A lighter .30-caliber project needs a bullet chosen for that job
Many .308-diameter load plans begin by defaulting to familiar 150-, 165- or 180-grain bullets. That makes sense for many rifles, but it does not answer the handloader who deliberately wants to work at the lighter end of the .30-caliber spectrum. This 135-grain Gold Country Scorpion gives that project a defined component: a .308-diameter hollow/open-tip bullet supplied in a 100-count box for load development, testing and refinement.
The reason to choose it is not a slogan about automatic speed or accuracy. It is the ability to begin with less bullet mass when that is part of the rifle-specific plan. The finished result still depends on the cartridge, case capacity, barrel, twist, throat, seating position and current published data. Those boundaries are the work. This bullet gives you the 135-grain Scorpion option with which to do it.
What problem this bullet solves
- You want a lighter .308-diameter component: 135 grains creates a distinct starting point below the common middleweight .30-caliber choices.
- You want the Scorpion construction: this is the Gold Country hollow/open-tip family, not a Viper exposed lead-tip soft point or a Razorback serrated-tip design.
- You expect to develop and verify the load: the 100-count package supports the rounds needed to establish fit, function and a repeatable recipe in the individual rifle.
- You do not want the product page to choose a cartridge for you: .308 inch is the bullet diameter. Cartridge compatibility must be established from the actual rifle, chamber and published data.
Choose it when the 135-grain class is intentional
This is the useful choice when the load plan calls for a lighter .30-caliber bullet and the Scorpion open-tip form fits the intended project. If the project begins with a conventional 150-grain class, a heavier hunting weight or a specific nose requirement, start with the component that answers that requirement instead. Bullet weight is a design decision inside the complete load—not a stand-alone promise of velocity, recoil, trajectory or terminal behavior.

This listing is for component bullets, not loaded ammunition. The SKU confirms the 135-grain .308 Scorpion hollow-point identity but does not establish a flat-base or boat-tail designation, so this page does not invent one. Measure and inspect the actual component, confirm bullet length and seating requirements, and use current published data for the exact cartridge. Begin low and work up as the data publisher directs. Verify magazine clearance, feeding and chamber fit in the individual firearm.
Continue with the Gold Country Scorpion Bullet System to understand where the open-tip family fits, then use the Gold Country guides and technical library to follow the cartridge, geometry and load-development questions raised by your rifle.
