Did you shoot these for accuracy also ?

Yes, I did, and the 7mm 175 as always, has shot sub-moa in my rifles.

I will always over look Sierra for the reason that a 165 grain 30 caliber Sierra Game King out of an 06 was stopped by a white tail's shoulder.


I don't doubt you, and I don't doubt the stories like this from 'premium' bullets either.
I have a few stories myself.
