.224 sierra and hornady match bullets?

I guess that's what I was basing my idea on.

So it's the core more than the jacket that contributes to the hit or miss terminal performance.

It does have a lot to do with it.

"All Sierra bullet jackets are made from gilding metal. Depending on requirements, bullet cores are manufactured using one of four different lead alloys:[1]
6% antimony, 4% tin, 90% lead
6% antimony, 94% lead
3% antimony, 97% lead
1.5% antimony, 98.5% lead"

Also depend on if a bonding agent is used when swaging the lead core into the jacket.

Looks as though you can find anyone to agree or disagree with any of us on the subject.

Appears perhaps the best way to answer is to call up the makers and ask. I also read in my searches of Hornady using thicker jackets than Sierra. Perhaps it depends on the manufacturer of the projectile.
