New sierra 107s

[moondog]

Loading up for a match this weekend and found this. Base to Ogive was good though. I'm going to shoot it as a fouler

 

[J_Hensley]

That's an interesting one. What do they call it? "Billy, the big mouth bullet"?

 

[No manches"]

Interesting to say the least!

 

[RegionRat]

Yikes!
Got to wonder...

Tipped match king without the tip

 

[Allen Corneau]

Semi-wadcutter?

 

[jpjulian]

Didn't get pointed?

 

[Bulletman]

That is a bullet jacket that trimmed way short and made it thru the bullet press, somehow it didnt get caught during the inspection process and got shipped.

 

[moondog]

I've shot 1000s of them. If that's it, I'm not concerned. I thought was funny is all. Not switching anytime soon.

Guys, you’re not getting the point

Maybe it came out of the Magazine Length Press.

Looks a lot like the Speer 75 HP bullets.
Was the weight way off on that?

 

[GotRDid]

Core comes up to the “tip”, and jacket does not appear to have been trimmed; perhaps a shorter jacket escaped detection during that lot run? The ogive does seem to be formed, so likely made it through the pointing die.
Your seating stem obviously fit the ogive properly.
As Rickhem asks, and given that you appear to have stringent standards for all your components, how much in weight does this cartridge vary from a sample of your batch with the normal bullets?
Simple example of cross section of match bullet:

It will be interesting to see people’s match results with the new tipped 107’s. Results will show if the new tips run consistently true.
The old 107’s will be pretty hard to beat in my opinion. They just always shoot small n round.

I have been shooting the Closed Nose 107's for a year and happy with them. Very consistent. I thought man how'd that get thru Green QC ?!

 

[Clancy]

I love the weird ones. I’ve got a jacketed core that came in a box of Hillbillies.

 

[Big Mc]

Didn't get pointed?

You missed the poinyt

 

[DHD]

Cause there was no point

Hate to say it but when acquisitions happen and everyone looks at how much return/money we making occurs…. Guess what typically happens. Lived through numerous acquisitions in my career in a different trade but it’s “all relative” … IMO

 

[Killing Time]

That’s the home defense version.
