I have used serria 100gr bullets 1560, I cannot find any so I will replace them with Hornady 243 100 gr. sp boatails. My question is has any one done the swap and what kind of results have you had?

DadgumI’m not a fan of the new direction that Sierra is heading in iirc they were bought a few years ago and I don’t like what I’m seeing

I guess I missed out on all that.
Please elaborate on what's happened.
I would hate for them to discontinue
my tried and trues the way hornady
did with a couple of others.
When I loaded 243, I spent many
hours and $$$ on components and
range time getting the load I wanted,
then winchester discontinued the
powder I finally settled on

With current trends I find myself seeking out and buying speer.Didn’t Sierra also buy out Berger?
I see Sierra, and Co. as well as Nosler pricing themselves out of business...
Seems like they have blems for every bullet from Hornady. Picked up 200 ftx and was looking at the 140 monoflex. I grab some of those once I get the normal loads dialed in.I’ve killed more deer with the Hornady 100gr PtSpt (flat base) than any other bullet.
Yes! It works. Close 2nd is the 117gr BtSpt Interlock.
I bought quantities of Blems from MidwayUSA several years ago. I’ll be using them the rest of my life!

I guess one logical limit would be a barrel life... for some that might be 5 or 10k rounds. Life might just be easier if you run barrel burners like 243 where life is 1-1.5k.I have learned ( and am still learning) that
when I find something that I consider
perfectly suitable, to buy as much of
whatever that I can afford, because the
very next time, whatever you seek may
well have been discontinued and
obsoleted by today's fickle business
types that are in charge of the country's
businesses today.
