It seems the new Sierra company is busily copying the competition. Hornady and Berger innovate and Sierra just makes their version. Kind of totally different than the Sierra of 30 years ago.

If you can't beat them, join them. I suspect Sierra is more concerned with massive private and government contracts than reloaders.

You mean like Hornandy copying Henderson on trimmers.... and as you can see above the dimensions of the Berger and new MK are different.

Hornady innovates? Their newish case trimmer is a total rip off of the Henderson.

I looked at your picture and thought you have a monster sized hand. Able to put a box of bullets, a caliper, and line up 3 bullets. I then noticed it was 2 pictures.

I did some shooting out to 800 yards yesterday evening. With my Berger 105 hybrids my door was 5.3 mils. With the sierra waterline impacts we’re at 5.1 mils. Not a big difference but some. 31.5 grains Varget, 6 Dasher

One thing I noticed on my new 105SMK is the Closed Nose is not quite as pointed as my 107SMK's. Looks the same in your photo.

I hope they rock. thanks for sharing the comparison

Same for me. The OAL for my lot is ~0.025" short of the listed print dimensions which may account for the "not quite as pointed" part.

Just loaded a few charge weights using this new bullet and pleasantly surprised that my 6GT seems to like this new offering. Loaded up 100 rounds and shooting first match with them tomorrow. Not too shabby from my PRS rifle with suppressor off a wooden spool with bipod and squeeze bag.
