I have been shooting Sierra bullets for over 35 years, and have been completely satisfied with their product. I have tried all the other products, and always seem to come back to Sierra after I get my ounce of stupidity out of the way. I have bought all of the expensive bullets, just like everybody else, but now I see the error of my ways.
IMO too many people use the so called "Premium" bullets in a caliber that is too light to do the job, so theyuse the lighter caliber-then they pay the higher prices for their bullets.
I hearthe argument all the time about I only shoot one shot so I want the best bullet I can get. The problem with tihs is thatmost hunters should be shooting alot more, with less expensive ammo, and they would be better off in the field. If a hunter goeselk hunting with a good 30, or 338 caliber with a good 200 or 250 grain Sierra bullet, they will come home with game. Tom.
I basically agree with you Tom. But what I would like to add is that there are other bullets out there inthe same price range that will do just as good a job. If your gun just plain doesn't want to shoot a particularbullet to your satisfaction, then try something else. It's no big secret that guns are individuals and will tell you what they like. I tried to get Sierras to shoot out of one of my .280's and had no luck. As soon as I switched to another bullet, Bango!! Got what I was after. This is in no way any foul cry about Sierras. I do shoot them very successfully in several of my other rifles. I'm just saying that Sierras are fine, but there are other choices. Your gun will let you know. Yes, they certainly do put game on the pole!!
