I bought a box of these. The box said SIG on the side. More than half were hollow shells of copper without any lead, I emailed Sierra and have heard nothing in nearly two weeks.

Give them some time to get back to you. This is their busiest time of year, and no doubt some of the staff are out hunting on their own. They might be short-staffed right now, due to the Covid, too.

I've probably used 100 pounds of Sierra factory seconds over the years and I've never seen anything like that.

Same here Sarge. 224, 308, and 358, with some 452s. Never got an empty jacket. Mostly the seconds were soft points with a tip that didn't get cut all the way. They are in their busiest time of year AND bought out Barnes Bullets. Be Well, RZ.

I'm confused. Is it Sierra or SIG?

Have any pictures? I'd like to see that. Sounds like someone messed up.
