Why would they choose this over a 77 gr. OTM type projectile?
Mk. 262 Mod. 01, or Nosler Custom Competition come to mind.

We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
Magic_Salad0892: Perhaps because 77 gr OTM's offer incredibly POOR terminal performance after first penetrating intermediate barriers and for LE use, where there is a high incidence of potential engagements around or involving vehicles, ammunition that is able to effectively penetrate intermediate barriers, particularly vehicle glass, is CRITICAL.
DocGKR:
Do 62 gr. type projectiles have better inherent barrier penetration than their 77 gr. counterparts?
Kind of related: Is 75 gr. TAP an OTM?

No.
Yes.
thanks for the good info doc, how about you send me 10k rounds and ill evaluate the shit out of it for ya.

One of the benefits of bonded core bullets is their performance through a wide range of velocities. In gelatin, you can expect good penetration, (15"-17") expansion, (.45-.55"+) and weight retention (98-100%) with them out of 10" barrels, and that performance will still be superior after passing through barriers.
