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

You know better than to cite anything other than your insecurities and practice your whine,which happens to be a very good one.

I'm simply a fast twist .224 Fan and am steeped in the wares commensurate,due to their performance.

You go girl!...............

Personally, I really like Sierra bullets. I try more and more new bullets every year, but I always go back to Sierra's. I think demand has a lot to do with availability. As a whole, they shoot as good or better than anything out there. Just watch the availability of 120 gr Prohunters in .264. - once stock comes in it doesn't last long.....people buy em as soon as they can get their hands on em.

Here is a picture of the bullets for sale in the largest reloading gunshop in my area (CT). Its where I got the idea that Sierra was not as popular as I perceived them when I started out handloading.



As you can see Hornady dominates the bullets for sale with very few of the Sierra green boxes there. There are even far more Barnes bullets for sale!

Sierra is the bullet that I shot in most of my centerfire matches. They did very well. I trusted them.

I shot my first few deer with Sierras and by far the most chucks and crows with Sierras. They are super accurate.

I just wanted to say that I noted that they don't seem to have the volume there.

I buy sierras when ever I can find the weights I shoot in 264wm.

Well, THAT explains it! You're in Connecticut! You have LIBERALS there!

Just kidding.

I am however impressed...can you actually walk up to that wall or is it behind a counter by some liberal law?

You can walk up to it and select what you want. On the lower right a 5# jug of RL 17 was about $125 and a pound there is about $25. No savings for the jug!

No Federal 210M's there.

25 Bucks A Pound! Wow, taxes and rent must be high there. Or the Mafia needs their cut?

Still, that's a very nice display. Don't you wish it was all yours for free?

Well, 2-3 shots to check the zero and another to kill an elk,and one to kill a deer, once a year,100 Sierras last me a long time.Maybe that is why there are so many Hornadys.It just takes more bullets to get the job done. Ya think!!!

You could be right. The Sierra 100 gr HP does a nasty thing on deer with 72gr H4831 pushing it from my 264wm and its a tack driver.

Went to BP in town last week to get some bullets and they just recieved a shipment, I went back last nite for some more and sierra bullets was wiped out in all calibers but plenty of Hornady,Barnes,Nosler.

Sierra is still my #1 choice. Their #1400 Matchkings are the most accurate in my 22-250 and .222 Rem. Mag. Also the cheapest at $79.99 per 500.
