Anyone near to Sierra factory? - grayfox - 02-07-2022
Hey. If anyone lives near the Sierra guys, or knows someone or has an "in" there, ask them to hurry up on the 120 gr 6.5 pro hunters, ok? .... and the 125gr .308 pro hunter's as well.
We miss 'em out here!!!

Been there done that to no avail. Sierra pretty much has their priorities which usually is the highest selling skus and military get top priority. Sierra doesnt have the production capacity to produce enough to meet demand. If Sierra adds a new product they usually have to discontinue something else. Sierra added a 6.5/264 105 grain Blitz King about the time Sierra discontinued the 85 grain Sierra Varmint bullet.

Never once seen the blitzking in stock, nor have seen any range reports. Vaporware

Grayfox, you seem to have mistaken Sierra for a company that cares about it's customers.

grayfox... Is the Sierra 125gn .308 Pro Hunter bullet you're looking for a spitzer bullet (Sierra Part Number 2120)? I have some I might part with (300). Send a PM if you're interested.
Anyone near to Sierra factory? - grayfox - 02-07-2022
Yes, that spitzer is the one, flat base. PM sent.

I emailed them back in October I think about pro hunters as they are my go to in my Grr with 28.0 gr of 8208(.75)
I got a response the next morning saying not to expect any pro hunters until the summer at the earliest

Sierra was bought out in the last few years and the new owners stopped the factory tours but last I knew they still had the outlet store. The outlet store sells blem factory 2nd bullets by the pound. Last time I was there Sierra was not selling the polymer Tipped Match King bullets that were seconds. I was able to by some .224 55 grain blitz kings and 69/77 grain SMK. I also bought some 6.5 MM 107/123 grain SMK plus 100 grain varmint bullets. The outlet store had very few pistol bullets to buy.

Tell them we need some 69 TMK's as well. Things are about as scarce as an honest politician.
Sierra quit answering my inquiries on Instagram on the subject. I have since switched to Hornady to get my 22 grendel going. Disheartening to say the least.
