the two good things from this break-up/ buy out Ruger is buying Marlin so just maybe Marlin rifles will be a better rifle again too. also the group that owns Federal is buying Remington ammo company part.

This is probably the most ridiculous statement I've read in a very long time


Ted, I will concede that perhaps Sierra has improved their hunting bullets since the 1980’s, but I will not use my limited hunting as a test subject! I had several miserable failures with Sierra bullets reputed to be big game bullets. When tested beside another cup and core bullet, side by side in identical test material. The competitors bullet gave the classic mushroom retaining approximately 65% or original weight. To recover pieces of the Sierra bullet, would have required a screen sieve!

Ted, while the statment may have been ridiculous to you, perhaps you should venture forth and observe the comments, by many hunters that were very disappointed with the performance of Sierra hunting bullets (?) on game!
