[QUOTE="sbhooper, post: 884379, member: 72297"] Sierra makes very accurate bullets, but my experience is that they do not hold up as well as others do on game. I saw 180 Game Kings from a 30-06 blow up on a cow elk once and I had some 165s fail to even open on a deer shot with a .308. I shot a coyote with the same load at about 35 yards and the core separated. It went full length of the coyote and did not exit at 35 yards. Some of their bullets seem to have a following for big game, but I don't trust them on anything bigger than a deer. I have never shot them from my 7 mags. Nosler and Hornady only for me-accuracy and performance. They definitely are my go-to for my 22-250, though. 1365 is the most accurate bullet that I have ever shot in any rifle. [/QUOTE]
