Sierra makes a 160gr. with slightly more semi-round nose shape. It's the bullet my daughter uses in her .260 Rem.- with 33gr. H4895. Elbow rested on a table top using a 4X scope, she made a 1 1/2", 10 shot group at 100 meters with that load. 8 of the ten were in an inch. She couldn't understand my excitement overher group. The target was a black paper deer silhouette with fixed aiming point. I simple said, kill the deer. It would have died very quickly with the first shot & every other owne as well. The Sierra is a good bullet, I'm sure, although we've not had the pleasure of sticking a deer with one. There is no cannelure for crimping so a Lee Factory Crimp die must be used and it has a long full diameter body, unlike the Hornady. Seating more deeply is required in her rifle due to that. |
