Sierra 77gr .224 Matchkings with Cannelure

[Nick-St]

A fellow shooter and I have managed to get a job lot of the Sierra 77gr .224 Matchkings with cannelure. We're keeping our own supply & selling the rest at @£200 per 500.

(They came boxed in 2,500 bullet bulk packs, so will be split into a separate bag unless you want a whole box!)

The cannelure version has the same sectional density and BC as the non-cannelure version, so load data is the same.

Can be posted at cost, brought to Bisley at a CSR match, or collected from Chessington...

Bump and reduction to £180 / 500.

How many have you got?

Just for information folks.

The cannelure exists due to the US mil/gov requirements; its only purpose is to stop the projectile from moving due to extreme handling, e.g. being dropped, falls, etc.  The cannelure ring provides a nice spot for the crimp to grab on to. 

For the civilian world, it doesn't make a difference at all. 

I've been using the 77SMK before the US military “designed” the Mk262 which now uses the cannelure bullet. 

There is zero change on flight characteristics; think about it once a non cannelure bullet leaves the case and engages the barrels rifling it has numerous full length deep cannelures on it - much deeper than the very light cannelure on the 77SMKs being sold here.
