    Probably the 131 blackjack bullets they were making under contract a while ago if I had to guess. If you put the 6mm 110smk, 131 blackjack, and 6.5mm 150 in a line it looked like the same thing scaled almost.

    I'm sure it is, just haven't seen any in the wild. Prolly got a lifetime supply of 135 bergers but hey, more is always better.

    That’s fairly shady. Let Blackjack do your R&D and buy the tooling, then choke them out and steal their IP.

    I'll agree it looks bad from the surface, but I don't know all the deets of the relationship.
    Could easily be on BJ too, only those with proof of the money trail could tell. Did they meet minimums, pay on time...🤷‍♂️

    I know one of the founders of BJ personally. I got his side of the deets from him. I asked the relevant questions. He’s a good guy, working stiff enthusiast like the rest of us, I don’t know his partner. My assessment is it’s a bit more underhanded than it even looks. I personally hope they sue Sierra for royalties on all their stolen IP.

    Shadyness aside we definitely need more 25 cal options. Bergers are unobtainable and the the Hornady are not great. When I sent my barrels to be chambered the 135s were everywhere by the time I got them back there impossible to get.

    It’s been awhile since I shot a blackjack, but I feel like they were secant. The sierras look more tangent to me. Maybe the photo playin with angles? But it don’t look the same to me

    Personally, im way more interested in seeing the customers who were fucked over by BJ get some sort of compensation. Shocked there’s never been a class action suit.
     
    Soooo, anyway 🙄. Getting back on track about the actual subject and not the issue that not a single one of us can do anything about……Anyone laid hands on these yet?
