Sierra had to start somewhere. I believe they probably started with their "bread and butter" bullets that needed the most improvement. I doubt adding a time to the 6mm 107 MK will make as much improvement. Also, they started by producing bullets for Black Hills to load, so that must have been some type of contract. I would guess that Black Hills requested an exclusive for the TMK bullets for a set timeframe (probably 1 yr). If the new offerings take off, I expect more options to come later. Its Marketing 101. Build the demand and then expand the offering.

No, they pointed the 107 before they had the tipped ones……… so i would guess it won't happen to the 6mm……… jim

Sierra A-Max , what an interesting concept.

Wow 48.00 bucks a box for .308 sierras........ that aint exactly cheap....

MSRP on 168 A-max is $42 or so.

My numbers may be wrong but if the G1 that they advertised is correct they will do a G7 of 0.263.
That means that the new smk 155gr shoots the same as the berger hybrid 168gr....

Has anyone shot any of these yet? In a gun - down a barrel - at a target, etc.

I sent an email to Rich at Sierra asking when the 30 cal offerings will be available. He said one or two models will be out late this month and the rest soon after. I assume the two models that will be available first will be the .224 cal 77 gr and the .308 cal 175 gr since those are the bullets they have been making for Black Hills.

I guess it's better late than never. 20 years?
