    Barnes - Sierra Purchase?

    I saw where Sierra purchased Barnes from the Remington fire sale last month - does anyone know if they will continue to operate and manufacture the same products as normal or what this means for the Barnes brand long term? I noticed they are still posting on some social media.

      As reliable as Barnes is in their bullets for big game hunting, I don’t see there being any change in their bullet lines. Just my guess.

        I agree. If I were them I’d keep everything Barnes as it is, and then sell the same products under the Sierra label as well.

            Barnes has a very strong brand, albeit a smaller market share than Sierra, Hornady, Nosler etc.
            I don't see Sierra changing anything at this point, they bought them because they do not have much, if anything, in their product line today that really competes head to head with Barnes.

              I don’t see it changing, but have always wondered why Sierra hasn’t came out with a line of bonded ballistic tips to compete with the Accubond, Innerbond, etc.

                I hope nothing changes. I'm a big Barnes fan.

                  My thoughts exactly!

                    I agree with you guys as I am also a big Barnes fan. I shoot them across several calibers and have had great luck with them.
                    In fact, I just finished working up a load for a new Tikka T3x Superlite in 243 Win using the Barnes 80 gr TTSX that I picked up last month.

                      Sierra Bullets buying Barnes did not do anything but improve the Barnes brand…
