Here is what I have been able to determine so far:
.277 Dia
130 gr. HP
bullet appears to have two cannelures first is at upeer 1/3 and other is at lower 1/3 of bullet.
I have checked Hornady/Sierra/Speer and they do not have anything that matches this.
Anyone have any ideas???

Are these bullets from MidwayUsa? They may be some of the blemish stock that Midway offers occasionally.
I've seen some Remington stock with the dual cannelure in 6.5MM.

Older Hornady 130/270 had a cannelure and above it a fine ring that was part of their early design "interlock" feature. They,
like all bullet makers , have redesigned the "Interlock" more than once. I have the old style in several calibers. They shoot very well.

NMCSRET think you might be onto something there. Closer inspection shows this to be much finer than the ususal cannalure of most rifle bullets. Thanks for the assistance
