padom said:They off better BC vs the SMK. I still don't see the justification to pay the extremely high asking price over Hornady Amax bullets.
For .223, I am completely satisfied with 77smk and 77BTHP. I can hit 12" steel at 800yds with my AR using 77smk or 75BTHP with 23.8g 8208XBR. Picked up 1000 Nosler 77CC's to test and see if they perform the same as the 77smk's. If they do I will be switching to the 77cc's permanently as they are much cheaper than the 77smk's.
Guys,
Are your comments based upon economic considerations or performance considerations? Over the years, I've heard and seen comments made (similar to the above) on a new product (in this case a new Sierra Bullet) that hasn't been tested in someone's personal rifle/weapon. That extent, I've heard and seen suggestion of how well a particular bullet performs (price never enters into the commentary because precision shooting isn't exactly cheap at times) in a rifle and upon testing it in MY PARTICULAR rifle, it doesn't shoot nearly as well as what I'm currently using. So might I suggest that price alone isn't even a consideration to some. If precision shooting and accuracy is your thing, don't exclude it from consideration or testing based solely on the $$ sign. You may be selling yourself short or even that of your rifle's capabilities. Just saying.
