107 sierra MK

[wkdickinson]

how are these bullet shootings in your BRs i know different rifles shoot differently with different bullets but how do they compare say to your berger bullets say like the 105 hybrid.

I used to shoot 105 Hybrids (243 Win, 6 Dasher) but found the inconsistency in the ogive unacceptable. Switched to 107 SMK (6BRA) and have been very happy. They shoot ever bit as good, maybe better and are cheaper and easier to get.

ok thanks that's good to know

are TomE, Alex's and Barts bullets that much more expensive ?
Why limit yourself and not explore your full capabilities ?

Are they any better?
Is it worth chasing every possible bullet for the magic one when you find one that works?

sure they are but I'm talking about 600 and 1K benchrest competition
Is it worth few extra pennies when you're trying to squeeze every possible tenth of an inch of accuracy and precision and you wanna compete at a high level......absolutely !!
If you're a casual shooter or for plinking not so much
I doubt you'll find many top long range guys shooting Sierra bullets just take look at the 600yd and 1K Nationals equipment list, mostly custom bullets and a few shooters are shooting Berger 105 & 108's

If you spend the time to sort 107SMK’s you’ll be surprised at what they will run right along side with or even beat. It’s a very good bullet.

In testing the 107 Sierra along side the 115 DTAC in my 243AI at 700 yds. because of the difference in speed it held its own and was grouping just as well.

Couldn't agree more. Benchrest at the highest levels demands that you explore every possible option regardless of cost if you want to be the best. This not only pertains to bullets but every other aspect of the game. Not everyone can, will, or should try to chase that level of accuracy. Sometimes, really good is good enough, and the 107 SMK is good enough for many.

since we're talking about Sierra bullets I'd like to take the opportunity and thank Sierra for sponsoring the 600yd Nationals at Piedmont NC
I was lucky enough to win three boxes of Sierra bullets of my choice
No I didn't order any 6mm 107'sbut I ordered some 30Cal 230gr HPBT Matchkings to try them in my 300WSM HG

THANK YOU SIERRA !!!!

The 107 MK does look a decent value bullet. Considering it for a 6GT rebarrel, an added bonus is you can actually buy it over here. Bergers are almost nonexistent.

Not Benchrest accurate, but good enough for me

Yes and yes.
