I'm lost ....not target bullets hunting bullets.
The thread is about the Sierra BlitzKing. Which is what I was talking about in my post.
Otherwise I would have stated, MatchKing or Tipped MatchKing.
I'm lost ....not target bullets hunting bullets.
Some years ago, I did a test with 50g Sierra Blitz Kings,50g V max, and 50g Nosler Ballistic Tips in a 22/250 with the President of PMC ammo. They were testing to see which bullet blew up squirrels the best to load in their factory ammo.
We shot 250 straight of each bullet. There was absolutely no contest on which bullet could launch the ground squirrels over the top of the irrigation walker arm, the blitz kings. The V max was second, with a distant third going to the ballistic tips.
Also, the blitz kings have a "match" grade jacket for uniformity.
I shot a lot of the Sierra 50/55g lead tip blitz bullets, which are incredibly accurate with a top end velocity of 3600 in 12/14 twists. The old Hornady SX was a great bullet for ground squirrels with reduced velocity.
52g speer Hp are like flying trash cans on ground squirrels, accurate also.
.277 Dia. 140 grain, Nosler AccuBonds, ARE the Same way, .020-.025 Variance between, 50 Count BoxesWhat's even more nutty is they requested I send in a sample of bullets from the 500 box. Which I did, and then they tell me that the bullets are within their tolerance for a mass production bullet. Say what? The bto on these bullets varied by .025 ! Wait what? Lol.

Hornady and Berger,.. Do,.. NOT !!!OMG, I might have to rethink this!
To be fair, are the other brands doing the same?
