Got to the land this weekend and shot the Sierra 165gr into wetpack.
2 bullets on right were shot into wetpack at 1300 fps
Diameter: .680 x .655" weight = 164.8gr
Diameter: .674 x .651" weight = 165.1gr picked up a little paper.
1 bullet on left shot into wetpack at 1430 fps
Diameter: .782 x .765" weight = 163.0gr
Good weight retention and expanded diameters

Nice!  Looks like they hold up well to 10mm velocities.

Nice report I just received a 1000 165 grain bullets from Montana Bullet Co. today let the reloading begin.

I agree that they held up impressively.  Good to see.  There's not as much feedback floating around for Sierra Bullets from 10mm on the WWW.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

445 supermag

Very good info on these bullets.   I have had Great luck when using them in my 445 supermag of various weights and velocities of up to 1800 fps .  They are one of my Favorite bullets to use.

SO It doesn't suprise me to see them do well.  I am going to have to pick some of these up for the 10mm.
