Could be as simple as getting the manufacturing equipment at a bargain.
As far as revolver fodder goes, Barnes is noted for their solid copper bullets and this would add to Sierra's line-up.
I have used (sparingly) the "XPB" hollow point 44 solids and the 300gr "Buster" which is a heavy FP-FMJ for dangerous game or silhouette.
They work but are expensive and won't stabilize in 38" twist 444 or 44 rifles.
If I had to kill a truck with the .445 Encore, the Buster would be called upon but otherwise not-so-much.
The 300gr. cast WFNGC is way cheaper and more versatile.
On the other hand Sierra is my favorite mainstream jacketed 44 bullet maker.
Sierra-Starline is a class outfit.
It may be awhile before we see what happens to Barnes, Marlin, Remington, Western Powders, and all the other companies getting rebooted.
Let's hope they don't just die.
I am afraid some will eventually.
For instance, Colt has been kind of a zombie for years IMHO.
