I have exhausted my search for Sierra 55gn sp bullets  I have tried diff brands, shapes & weights of other bullet & my gun shoots them from 1/2" to 1" groups BUT...55 Sierra's...3 groups shown. .396-.224 = .152" ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/Tikka_John_007.jpg) Please if anybody could check your local reloading supply store & run across some I would be so happy to pay to get more. Does anybody know if there is an importer for Sierra's in Canada?? Thanks

Hi Senior I get my Sierra slippery turds from Alberta tactical rifle in many different calibers. He is an importer from USA.I order 1000 per box full same as primers. They have a web site www.albertatacticalrifle.com
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

I take it that you've tried Epps and Trombly's in Orillia. You should check in with Jerry Teo at Mystic Precision first. He seems to keep a regular supply of bullets moving. www.wholesalesports.comwww.sirmailorder.comwww.mysticprecision.com

Nice shooting! What caliber, rifle? Tikka T-3 Lite S/S in .223 Thanks Steve, I never thought of Mystic where's he located. Never mind I see he's in BC & he doesn't list Sierra's on his reloading supply list. Cabelas & Wholesale neither one lists 55gn SMP stock #1350

He used to carry Sierra. I'd email and ask, just for the heck of it. You can also inquire at www.reloaders.ca.Good luck on your search.

I used to buy quite a bit of stuff from them but heard what you stated is the norm lately. They import Sierra's but only the common stuff which is the Blitz bullet & quite diff from the one I have been useing.

Maybe try P & D Enterprise in Edmonton. They usually have a great selection for bullets from manufacturers.

Heard back from P & D, that's where I bought the gun a few yrs ago....great service.
Apparently that bullets status "Sorry not a part number we have access to."
I'm thinkin it's either out of production...yet Sierra's web site shows it or just not a bullet imported to Canada anymore!
