Thread: Sierra back to the future - new bullet design

I think its an attempt to get it across the practical effective range with expectations of some longer range performance. Sure its not much thats new but it makes more sense to me for a 0-500 metre hunting projectile with the sort of accuracy potential that we need to operate at the end of that range. I don't know if I need plus 500m expansion...

Currently I am trying to work out what to use in the 6.5mm class for hunting. 130gr for that sort of performance without being too explosive up close and still expansive at longer ranges. Maybe a slightly more solid better construction in an efficient design is the way to go?

How many people are carrying up close rounds, and long range ones at the same time? Thats just a pain in the arse.

Currently fooling around with 130 VLDs and Amax 130s.

WE don't demand much of course... 0-500m big game performance, cheap and still expansive on light animals like wallabies and goats. Want to be able to use one projectile for all. Not sure that all expectations will or can be met...
