There are many industries that are Necessary to maintain National Security & Defense. Arms, Medicine, Building Materials, Farming/Ranching, Food Production/Equipment, Heavy Machinery, Electronics/Communications, Energy Production/Utilities/Grid, Ports, etc.
No major American companies in these fields should be allowed to sell to foreign entities, and it doesn't matter if their country is an 'ally', as those agreements are subject to change. What difference does it make if a firearms company is US owned? The average firearms related business head is much more apt to be like William B. Ruger than Paul Buffoni. https://www.northeastshooters.com/x...ncels-contract-with-milwaukee-pd.199334/

When I started reloading (1973) Hornady was for paper punchers. They just didn't perform on game.
Speer was for beginners. They weren't that accurate and didn't perform THAT well on game!
Sierra provided a product that was about as accurate as it could get and performed flawlessly on game.
My "mentor" started me on Sierra. I've used some other brands over the years, but first serious work, I go back t9 Sierra.
...and I have OFS!

His messages often strike me wrong. Read the messages they put out to their shareholders about their increased ability to keep prices high etc. He talks about the 2nd amendment and then says his priority is those who will likely take it from us. Saying they support the police would have been sufficient. Jason often seems like an arrogant tool. Always trying to set everyone straight. Tone deaf wring approach.
Bb This is exactly what I got from this video.

Boom flopped a bull elk this past season with those 270 grain hot cors out of my 9.3 x62. I mean DRT !!! Was it the arrow or the Indian? Indian. I can't recall the last. box of Speer I bought. I do know the FIRST box I ever bought were Speer 6mm 90 FMJ bullets. Sierra game king line though has to be the biggest junk design ever. I"ve seen more erratic results from them that we just quit them period. Won't even try to try them again. The match king line is more reliable than the game king line. That said have shot a load of match kings downrange in competition over the years.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Game kings are typically bombs on even thin-skinned game like deer in my experience.
Sierra Game King isn't worth a consideration in my opinion for hunting considering the options available.

In 2014 this guy told me to my face that they were keeping 22 LR production low, in order to keep prices high. I'm sure that surprises nobody. He also promised a case of 22 LR as a tip for my buddy that guided him on that trip, he's still waiting lol. So take what he says with a massive grain of salt.
