History of Sierra Bullets
Originally Sierra Bullets produced precision rivets for aircraft, as well as guides for fishing rods and rifle front sight ramps. After World War II there was a bullet shortage, especially quality rifle bullets. They then began to manufacture quality match rifle bullets. Soon their 53 grain match bullet was being sold to the Hollywood Gun Shop. This bullet is known today as the Sierra #1400 53 gr MatchKing.
In 1972 Sierra started manufacturing bullets for handguns that were capable of being driven at higher velocity than bullets available at that time.
