Haven't watched the video but have read that they are working on some heavy for caliber tmk's.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

Just been watching the video. I'm very interested in that 6mm 105gr SMK. The 153gr TMK in 6.5mm could be interesting too.

Interesting and thanks for sharing. I have always done well with Sierra match bullets.

Sierra has always made great bullets. However, the issue, at least with me over the past several years, has been availability.

Looking forward to trying, the .22 cal., 69 gr. Varmint Kings, in my 1-8 twist, .22-250 !

There is a lot there to be excited about. It will be interesting to see actual BCs vs advertised though.

 

[Hammer101st]

Cant wait to try some of the .257 bullets.

Lotsa good stuff. It’s a good time to be a Reloader.

Dang, I just bought a couple 500ct boxes of 105 Berger HTs. Guess I'll just have to shoot more.

Do the tipped match kings give Berger a run for their money in the accuracy stakes? Not seeing them on the firing line in Australia. A lot of guys have tried the 183gr 7mm, but most have given up as that bullet is an inconsistent SOB.

I don’t reload, but I do find myself gravitating to factory loads with SMK bullets.

Except that prices have more than doubled in the last five years. I’m glad to have stocked up before the madness.

I have never been able to get the TMK bullets to shoot better than MK bullets. Because they are more of a hunting bullet? I have had the best results with very little jump or am I missing something?

They do make a rather spurious claim (starting around 0:50 in the video) that the new 105 MK has better BC than other offerings up to 115 grains. If you look at the chart they provide, yes the G1 BC is better but the more appropriate/relevant G7 BC is not.



Don't get me wrong, I think Sierra makes fine bullets. I shoot their 70gr. MK for my Chicken/200m bullet and I think the new 116gr. TMK could be a really good option for Rams.

Does someone from Sierra need a spelling lesson? Comperitor?

Call them. I couldn't find what I needed last year and called and they shipped direct to me.

Thanks for heads up as I was thinking of getting a box just to see if they were as good as the Berger 180’s & 184’s… At a dollar+ @ that would have been a drag…
A bit like the 500 Nosler RDF 185’s that I got for a bargain price during the Berger draught a few years ago… Rubbish!
