Sierra web site - says "Shop Discontinued"
Went to https://www.sierrabullets.com/
Across the middle of the page it says "Shop Discontinued". Clicking around the different parts of the website it looks like they still sell apparel and other things, but no bullets. All bullets marked "discontinued". If anyone has any actual information about what is going on, I'd be happy to read it. Thanks in advance. |

I think what that means is that they are giving you a shortcut to shop for discontinued bullets. Not that the shop is itself discontinued.
Seems very poorly worded to me, but I don't think they are shutting down. There is a 12/31 update about new bullet lines coming. |

You are absolutely correct and I'm glad to be alone so nobody can see how red my face is.
All the bullets that were marked "Discontinued" are under that. When I go to "Products" -> Rifle Bullets and so forth, the bullets are there. Thanks again and I apologize for jumping to a dismal conclusion. All the .224 Matchking bullets are marked "Sold Out" but Not "discontinued. |

I am a little surprised to see the 30 cal 180-grain MatchKing biting the dust. It was a competition mainstay for decades. Today, though, it just can't keep up on BC with newer designs.

The US military teams tried them rebulleting M118 match ammo and got the same problem. The Army or Marine team let a special contract with Sierra to make several thousand original 180 HPMK's that was a favorite for mid and long range. Last edited by Bart B.; January 19, 2021 at 01:06 PM. |

Yes, poorly worded.

Thanks! The red is fading but the lesson remains; jumping to conclusions on the basis of scant evidence is poor exercise.
The sky has been alleged to be falling loud and long enough that one raindrop on my head was enough to convince me that the sky was, indeed, falling. Glad its not. |
