Those things look just like the new Sierra SMK's.  Pretty sleek looking bullet.
Sierra is making them.

I was a little surprised that the guys at BlackJack were so slow to come out and say that Sierra was making them. It seems like that that would have been a great selling point from the start.
:yeah: it would show that they are being made by an experienced and quality maker and not just some dude who got a new bullet machine.
I wonder how much of this type of arrangement goes on the industry?
Also wonder if Sierra will make their own quarter bore match king also?
More of it then most people realize. Bullets to barrels!
That Sword is more important than the Shield!

Guess that would explain why they look just like all the new SMK's.

I’m surprised X-Caliber barrels doesn’t have a .25 Creedmoor offering in their AR10 barrels.

I heard they were going to, but then realized that anything with the name Creedmoor in it sucks.  :chuckle:

Everyone knows that the 6.5x47 Lapua case is the classier way to get 95% of the performance for 99% less harassment!

But then again, I have known some complete idiots that thought the 6.5x47 chambering in itself made them one of the top PRC shooters in some alternate universe. If you really want to do it right. A 6.5-.284 with the right throat is the way to go on a short action. Being it necked 6mm, .257 or 6.5.👍
