Description
Start with the 100-grain Scorpion built around an aerodynamic assignment
You are trying to shape more than a cartridge that fires. You are developing a 100-grain .243 / 6mm load with trajectory, retained velocity and downrange consistency in mind. That project needs a bullet whose nose and base geometry were selected for the same assignment.
This Scorpion combines an ultra-low-drag hollow-point nose with a rebated boat tail. It is physically distinct from the flat-base hunting Scorpion even though the two bullets share a family, diameter and weight.
This listing contains 50 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and loaded ammunition are not included. Gold Country hand swages these bullets in small batches. They are made to order and normally ship within seven business days.
What this bullet helps you pursue
The nose and base geometry express the design goal: give the handloader an aerodynamic 100-grain Scorpion around which a complete load can be developed. It is the relevant choice when a rebated boat tail belongs in your project and when you intend to measure the result in the actual rifle rather than assume that every 100-grain hollow point will behave alike.
Choose the flat-base ULD hunting Scorpion when the hunting designation and flat base fit the assignment. Choose the LD flat-base Scorpion when the simpler low-drag architecture is the starting point you want.
Why buy the Gold Country Scorpion
Large catalogs often give you a weight, a diameter and a slogan. Gold Country gives you an exact physical design that is difficult to find elsewhere, made in a 50-count small batch for the handloader who wants to understand why the bullet exists before committing time and components to development.

Measure the result in the complete system
Ultra-low-drag and rebated-boat-tail geometry identify the design intention. They do not establish a universal ballistic coefficient or guarantee accuracy, retained velocity or terminal behavior. Use current published jacketed-bullet data for the exact cartridge and weight. Verify seating depth, cartridge overall length, chamber fit and function, then test the finished load in the actual rifle and intended conditions.
