Sierra .30 Cal .308 discontinued. 7350

[Ryan686kirk]

Hey I have a handful of sealed boxes of the old sierra spitzer bullets #7350. Im trying to sell them and am curious if there are opinions on if they are desirable or not. Its hard to know if I should price them up or price them down due to the fact that they are discontinued

Sierra discontinued the #7350 some years ago (exact date not widely documented, but it's no longer in current catalogs). As a result, remaining stock—especially sealed, original boxes—is considered collectible or desirable by some handloaders nostalgic for these "old" designs or seeking them for specific loads.

They occasionally appear for sale on forums or auction sites, sometimes at a premium due to rarity.

I appreciate that. I'll try it out just using the more modern model pricing and throw on a super modest markup

A lot of those older bullets are as good as they ever were but were discontinued due to newer designs.

I still have one sealed box of these. Nosler Zipedo solid base .22 bullets. I never got around to trying them but I did use a LOT of their later .22 Solid Base boattails. The Zipedo's were an odd design where the long base section had fins cut into it to reduce pressure.

When Sierra started discontinuing bullets there were several I used. Although they had discontinued they still had many in stock at their warehouse. IIRC, the only 135gr 30cal they sell currently is a flat base unlike the boat-tail 135's i have in 30cal. They discontinued the 135gr 40's, 85gr 26cal, 90gr fmj 24cal and several others i used. It's been 3-5 years (possibly more) since then?
