New Sierra LR Bullet

[FOTIS]

 

[DrMike]

Well, that's pretty impressive. Ten shots? Excellent accuracy. Wasn't aware of this bullet. Glad to see an increasing number of manufacturers providing high BC bullets.

 

[Guy Miner]

Dang... Somebody can shoot!

 

[BretN]

Wow. Who says Sierra can't keep up the the field? Still, I sure wish they'd offer a bonded hunting bullet. But that's a pretty impressive bullet/group.

That's some fine shooting Fotis. What rifle and cartridge did you load this in?

 

[HeathSexton]

Dang! I need a 7x30 waters to try these in.

The group shown was shot off one of the "rail guns" used in the range to eliminate the human error factor.

It will require an 8 twist or faster, a 9 is marginal depending on the rifle/barrel.

they announced it yesterday on Facebook after doing the same thing as Hornady did......Advertise that something big is coming. They shot this group I am just posting it.

Does the unspoken rule of "halving the distance" claimed by people on forums still apply to companies? [emoji38]

That is a pretty impressive and inspiring group there.

Looks interesting enough, but I already have enough target guns in other calibers. So for me it's just not going to sway me into building another gun when I already have a 30 cal. that flings 230's at 2900 fps.

 

[FOTIS]

Plus it requires 1:8 twist and if you go that route might as well go with the 195 berger

Sierra is still an incredibly popular bullet among target shooters. Despite inroads by Nosler, Berger and Hornady, an awful lot of competitors still rely on Sierra MatchKing bullets for competition.

And - if the right Sierra bullet is chosen - for the particular rifle/cartridge and game - good results can be expected for hunting as well.

No - they're not a Nosler AccuBond or Partition - but they're good bullets.
