Description
Build a 100-grain hunting load around a bullet chosen for the assignment
You are not simply filling a case. You are trying to arrive at a hunting load you understand—one that fits your rifle, carries the bullet weight you want and gives you confidence because you developed and verified the complete system yourself.
This Scorpion is Gold Country’s 100-grain answer for the .243 / 6mm handloader who wants an ultra-low-drag hollow-point nose, a flat base and a hunting-designated construction. That exact combination is why this bullet exists.
This listing contains 50 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and loaded ammunition are not included. Each box is hand swaged in a small batch, made to order and normally ships within seven business days.
What this bullet helps you pursue
The 100-grain weight gives the handloader a substantial .243 / 6mm hunting projectile around which to develop a complete load. The ultra-low-drag nose reflects an aerodynamic design goal. The hollow point and hunting designation identify the bullet’s intended role, while the flat base gives this version its own physical configuration.
Choose this bullet when your goal is a 100-grain hunting load built around that specific combination. If your project calls for a rebated boat tail, the neighboring Scorpion ULD RBT is the relevant comparison. If you want the simpler low-drag nose, choose the Scorpion LD flat-base version.
Why buy the Gold Country Scorpion
Many catalogs reduce the decision to diameter and weight. Gold Country gives you a defined bullet architecture and a small-batch component made for handloaders who make deliberate choices. You know the family, nose form, base form, weight, quantity and intended assignment before you begin load development.

Turn design intent into rifle-specific evidence
A component bullet cannot promise accuracy or a field result by itself. Use current published jacketed-bullet data for the exact cartridge and bullet weight. Establish safe seating depth and cartridge overall length, confirm chamber fit and function, and test the finished load in the rifle and conditions for which it is intended.
