New bullets dented

[Archer357]

Just got a box of Sierra 30 cal 195 grain TMK bullets. Looking at bullets, there are small dents on them. Will these dents affect bullet flight? Tried taking a picture, could not see dents clearly. Thanks

A clear pic sure would help.

Are these bullets factory seconds ? Have you contacted Sierra ?

 

[Archer357]

No, these are not factory seconds.

Ok, good, find the lot number and sales data, contact Sierra. Always nice to have a bullet mfg indebted to you.

I bet they will shoot fine I had some that looked like golfballs and they shot just like the others dont know about long range but to 600 they were fine they were not sierras but that should not matter

Cool, thank you, have a new 300 win mag trying work a load up for. So for now keeping it to 300 yards.

Ok, those Sierra Matchking bullets are supposed to have a thinner jacket than say Sierra Gameking bullets .

Got reply back from Sierra, they said small dents will not affect performance. Ok then, I'll load them up.
