Lot Numbers for Sierra Bullets?

[DaveTooley]

So much bad information.
There's one point up die for a run/lot of bullets. That run could be several million in number. Boattail punches wear/break and have to be freshened up. Jacket lots may change during a run. Jacket lube can vary and affect ogive to base lengths. I'm not privy to exactly how they differentiate lots but compared to 20 years ago they are doing a much much better job.

If you want perfect bullets get a set of dies, some jackets, lead wire, three presses, misc equipment and make your own. YMMV

I guess precision loaders will always complain about something, but when there is a legitimate issue i have to give Sierra props. My experience with customer service on a corrective issue was as thorough and professional as it get, right down to a thank you post card from the president of the company. They followed through acknowledged an issue, owned it and made it right without hesitation.

So I'm the original poster and I'm not mad at Sierra. I do wish they'd make their lot numbers more obvious, but it wasn't their fault that the vendor sent me two different lots. Also a Sierra employee contacted me privately. Since he chose not to post on this thread, I'll not make what he said public. I will say that there are reasons that these Sierra bullets are shooting so much better than the ones I tried in my first 6br 10 years or so ago.
