I was cleaning out some garage shelves and found an old box of Sierra bullets--at least 30+ years old.
The stock number printed on the box is 2010 along with ".30 Cal, .307 Diameter, 170 gr Flat Nose 30-30". The jacketed bullets have an exposed lead tip, are cannalured and have a flat base. Best I can tell with a high quality dial caliper is they measure .306
The Sierra website doesn’t even show a current .307 diameter bullet and stock number 2010 is for a .170 flat nose .308 for 30-30-- the customary diameter for 30-30.
So— can I load up these babies and feed them to my 1970’s Winchester 94?
