Sierra Pro Hunter
« on: July 08, 2011, 08:31:39 PM »
Wife and I got some Sierra Pro hunter bullets today in 140gr for her 7mm-08. Anyone have any thoughts on the Pro Hunter? We are going to see how they shoot, just for fun. We are happy with the Accubond 140, but we just want to see how the Pro Hunter bullet shoots.

Growing up, that's all we ever used.  We killed lots of animals before I read they're not very good.  ;)

All I shoot in my Win M70 7-08 are 140 SPHs over Varget.  VERY accurate combo.

we've put the game kings down the tube a few times. Most guns they were very accurate, jut my wife's that didn't like them so back to the sellier and belliot.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

At 7mm-08 speeds they will be great.  I have taken two antelope with them out of a 6.55X55 with one passing through and the other a nice mushroom. :tup:
