Sierra bought Barnes?

This may be old news but, I just heard it. I hope this is a good thing.

I read it two days ago. They bought the Barnes assets in the Remington bankruptcy auction for $30.5M.

So Sierra will now be in the lead free business.

I thought I read that Federal bought Barnes?

Federal bought the Remington line of ammo.

Federal makes amazing ammunition. It would be strange to have exceptional ammo in a green box.

Sierra will finally have a reliable controlled expansion bullet.

2 great bullets for hunting in my opinion. Use Barnes in my muzzleloader and Sierra in my centerfire. Devastating on deer

I haven't heard anything about Randy or Coni Brooks after ATK bought Barnes. I know it's switched hands since then but last I heard they were still involved in the company. I wonder in they'll stay in Mona Utah.

They retired in 2015.

They had a good long run. Thanks for the heads up.

History has taught us over and over again. Less competition, less choices, higher prices!

What asd9055 said!

I hope not! but I guess time will tell...

Price wise : Think Barnes bullets will stay the same, get even more ridiculously overpriced, or come down to a more reasonable cost for experimenters to see if they like them. I know copper costs more than lead....not that much more!
