I dunno what the hell is wrong with some folks. I can shoot bigger groups than that and it only takes me 2 shots. They wasted 8. Anyways ...  What twist do they call for? I think they recommend a 1-8.5" for the 180 MK. Tom

It doesn't look like they have been resting. They have a nice new bullet that works real well.

What's the recommended twist? This might be good to all the guys with 1-9 1-10 twist that cant stabilize the 195 Berger.

1-8 Twist required. I think the 195 Berger is a better choice. But you can shove the 183 faster so it might out perform the Berger.

That's fuggen outrageous. I wonder what the specifics are on how that was shot and with what?
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

In fact they have a number of such group cards on display with all manor of calibers. The "rifles" I saw were Remington 700s with extremely heavy barrels. BTW, you don't have to be anyone special to tour the factory, my wife and I were near Sedalia last spring and stopped in to their factory outlet to buy some seconds (they have barrels of them). I asked about a tour and one of their techs took about 2 hours to show us all around. Fun and informative.

Sierra Bullets have probably won more rifle matches than all the other makers combined!!

Sierra Bullets have probably won more rifle matches than all the other makers combined!! Only because they've been around longer. Got a little complacent in their prior market share. Then Lapua and Berger started eating it up.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

I'm really interested in their 95 grain TMK for the 6mm's. It has the same BC as the 105 A-Max and should squirt out the tube a little faster. However I don't think Stick'll make the switch.
