Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Sierra Bullets have lost the market.

Cite a bullet in their lineup,that can hang with a 75A-Max's BC/terminal affects.

You guess,because you gotta guess..................

80 gr SHPBTMK shoots 2" higher at 600 yards than the 75 AMAX in the 22/244 IMP and will make a varmint VERY dead. Same load, same sight setting both starting out at 3600 fps.

Have yet to try the 90 gr Berger, might actually do better, starting a bit slower.

No guesswork involved, working on second Lilja barrel. Over 3000 rounds downrange.

Your caliber ? Barrel ? Twist ? Experience ? Documented results ?

You are lying out your ass and couldn't get to 25yds with your crossed eyes...but am digging the humor!..............

the two bullets should be very close in deed the sierra 80gr. list bc. is .420 while the 75 a-max is .435 so on paper the a-max should be very slightly flater but real world my not always be so

"Should","might","mebbe","nearly","almost","sorta" isn't too compelling.

The 75A-Max in the flesh,is however.

Pun there too..................

Only the stick would think BC is the only factor that determines trajectory.

Is he still trolling ? All I see is:

*** You are ignoring this user ***

Try it, you'll like it.

Only a WindowLicker would surmise that a greater BC at a faster launch speed...wouldn't shoot flatter.

Dig the Jeff-O imitation,talkin' about boolits you've never even seen...let alone shot,as if you had.

Next you'll be feigning "ignore".

Laffin'!...................

Just letting you have all the slack on the rope,that you THINK you can handle.

In fairness,the only leg you've got to stand upon,is a keen insider's insight to retardation...which is riveting!

Laffin'!...............

Had more than a few dis-agreements with you on several topic's and I'm sure I will have more in the future but you nailed this one.............good post laffin' also...............

Sheesh, where are my waders?

Don't spook the hole,there's lotsa windows gettin' licked.....................(grin)

Sounds about like Remington; and that's not a slight toward either necessarily.

I cannot blame them one bit.

As a group, humans tend to dump on successful people or businesses. There's some jealousy in this I think.

Sierra is making money and their production line is running full out. They will change things when sales dictate.

I wish that I was that successful.

Savage_99: I use lots of Sierra bullets in LOTS of Rifles and calibers - I do not seem to have any problems obtaining what I need.
Indeed about 20 months ago I had to switch all five of my 204 Ruger caliber Varmint Rifles from the Berger bullets TO Sierra's excellent 32 grain BlitzKings - the reason was lack of availabiltiy of the Bergers and the ease of availability of the Sierra's.
I do not use any Sierra bullets for Big Game but for targets and Varmints I use a LOT of them every year.
I have NO idea as to what is going on at the Sierra plant but again I obtain all the Sierra's I need and see them on the store shelves all across the west.
I'll start paying more attention though as I do not want to be caught short.

Just to repeat: 2" higher @ 600.

Most real shooters put the bullets on paper to validate what some chart tells them.

As I may be the only shooter here to own a 22/244 IMP who has tested almost every bullet (except VLD Bergers) out to 600, I can only go by what the chronograph and the target says.

Come on down and we'll go up to the range. Appears there are lots of folks in the lower 48 who would like to have you come for visit. I'll kick in $25.00 for the bus fare .... can we get a collection started ?

I guess the ruse of pretending to "Ignore" wore off. Imagine that(pun intended).

Just to repeat,you are a [bleep] clueless idiot,who only shoots her mouth. Be sure to cite the chronograph which enables the 80gr SMK to exit the muzzle faster than a 75A-Max...they'll sell like hotcakes.

Laffin'!...................

A real question (forwarded to me by another member as it is worth answering)

Aside from the name calling, why don't you read the original post that said they were both REPEAT BOTH starting out @3600. So .......

I know you:
-don't own the caliber
-have no idea why it exists
-don't know the barrel length or twist
-are just repeating your same moronic pseudo swear words and insults

Facts are facts, supported by targets, witnesses and printed out data. So ........

it's obvious you don't know when not to lay your dick on the anvil when the other guy has the hammer (albeit a small one)


BTW, got two more PMs, your bus fare fund is up to $75.00 ........


"Just to repeat,you are a [bleep] clueless idiot, who only shoots her mouth."
must make your Momma proud!

I just checked my shelf and found 27 boxes of Sierra bullets.
I won't have to buy any for awhile, but that doesn't mean I'm not shooting them.
whelennut

Thank goodness they were sent as PMs. No point polluting the forum.

Have at it, you guys!
