13 cent 197 SMK 2nds

[slm9s]

Too cheap to pass up for me. Free shipping over $49. I haven't tried ANY seconds other than Nosler which I can't tell from firsts. Anyone have any experience with Sierra 2nds?

Remember to send me cash for the finder's fee!

I've only gotten Sierra seconds straight from the factory in Missouri. The SMK/HPBTs were mostly fine. I shot a lot of their .224" 69SMKs and never even bothered to sort them and they shot great inside 500yds. The plastic-tipped Blitzkings left a lot to be desired. In some calibers up to 50% reject rate per pound (e.g. .204").

If Midway's selling them, they're probably not too bad, but I'd still sort them if you're intending to shoot them at distance or for record.

Been very happy with the 223, 77’s I have gotten from Powder Valley.
