Did anyone give these a try in the AM30? I've had great luck with this bullet in 300BLK and also in 308 Win. I'm planning to try a few out when I get my barrel, I should be in the 2-week range now.

We haven't shot those. I have focused more on the Sierra Pro Hunter 125's. Brunos sells them for $22.43/100.

After taking some measurements this bullet will not be compatible with the A30. To get it to fit in a mag it must be seated way to deep, taking up too much room in the case. To get them to work the tips would have to be cut off. Looks like these were designed for the 300 black out only. Coal for this bullet in my barrel in 2.365 so you can see the issue. Seating this one @2.300 puts the bullet .125 deeper in the case than the prohunter. Also the ogive is about .003 below case rim. I can pawn these off on my blackout buddies at work unless anyone here would like them for theirs for a deal.. Looks like a sweet shooter though.
Live and learn.

Sad to hear, I really like this bullet and I was hoping it would work! I had a box set aside out of my stash for testing in the AM30 but guess I'll return it to the 308 Win pile. I guess my first round of testing will now center around the 125 Nosler Ballistic Tip, which I belive is contoured nearly, if not exactly, identical to the same weight Accubond.

I thought I had reported on the new Sierra TMK not being a candidate for the A-30 but I do want to interject it here to save time and money. I got samples straight from SHOT and checked them out. With three measurements you can tell if a bullet will fit and might be usable provided it is not in the lands. Sinclair lets us make the last piece of the puzzle fit together.
