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

Thanks for the information!
Yes, Thanks Sean! 8) Sierra makes some good bullets. :D
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.
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.
