New Sierra bullets

[Tangent]

I see there is a new 105gr SMK coming out, possible rival to the 105gr Berger?

Details here

Quite a few more in their other ranges. I'm curious to see how the 105gr performs Vs the 107gr.

 

[Tangent]

They might do away with the 107. The 105 will use less materials and the price will remain the same.

Let's hope not, I've recently bought 500 107's!

 

[mgunderson]

Then they should make a 104 and crush the competition. Hoping for something exciting.

Same here

The 107 is going to be hard to improve on. When your barrel likes them they are hard to beat.

Just bought 1000 107’s if the new bullets are better I may never lol

107's could be a Berger they are so good--right?
They have been so good in my first 6BR that I never tested any Berger 105's
As was said--"A man has to know his limits"
Glad to see more offerings--way to go Sierra!

Yeah, Sierra has been behind the time. Several years ago I had a conversation with them about getting into all copper hunting bullets which they said they had no intentions of doing. A couple years later they bought Barnes. I guess they are waking up.
Next they need to attach the jackets to the cores in their hunting lineup. I hunted with Sierra for many years and often found the jackets under the hide.

I love when guys dismiss Sierra match bullets. Makes them less of a threat quite often.

The 107 Sierra actually out shot the 105 in the rifle that I had

I bought the 107's on the basis that so many people here rated them. Hopefully they shoot well once I get my 6GT sorted.

The only thing I look at is the wound channel created by the bullet. The end goal is a large enough wound channel to quickly incapacitate. Where the jacket is or what it looks like is not relevant.
Some of the best killing bullets are Sierra TMK's and Berger hybrids, and they usually turn inside out.

 

[karrarararararar]

Quite a few additions to the TMK lineup. Curious to see how the .224 88gr TMK performs.

I am waiting for 120-125 gr smk copy of speer 120, in 257!! I think it would be a great bullet. day in day out, Sierra makes some great bullets.

They started to, "Bug Hole" ( Low 2's to 3's ) for Me with about, .010 to .015 IN the Lands, a Lite,.. JAM !
The short, .104 freebore in my 6 XC, w/ StaBall 65, works well with, this bullet
Backed off, the powder charge a 1/2 grain, now getting, 2,970 fps and,.. precision !
My 105 and 108 gr Bergers, are just, sitting around !
Would love to See some, .22 Cal. Blitz Kings @ 60 or 65 grains !

 

[snert]

Can they just make a run of 180 grain 35 caliber SSP again?

107's love to be in the lands. I start with far enough in that the engraving marks are square and then work back. Many times I just leave them there they shoot so well.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

That’s good news on the TMK for the 25 caliber.

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

That’s good news on the TMK for the 25 caliber.
