    Thanks. These are basically Sierra's version of the 90 TNT's. But being made to Sierra standards, I bet these shoot pretty great. I ordered 6 units, because 25 cents a bullet for a new first-run production Sierra bullet, in 2021 - is a total steal for todays prices and availability. We're living in the ultimate "run-on-toilet-paper" experience of our lives right now! Heh, I probably should have ordered more.

    I plan on pairing these up with a faster powder like LT32, and seeing what they do.

      I have been doing pretty well buying bullets locally. Hornady ELD. Not a ton, but 1,000.

          These are extremely accurate in my RAP and AR and pack quite a punch, as lazyengineer stated very similar to TNTs.

                    With 6.5 bullets hard to find, I too jumped on these and now have them in hand. New to reloading the Grendel and only have BLC-2 powder to work with right now. Do you have any reload data to support this combo? Thanks!

                      I ordered 400 a week ago and they arrived safe and sound today. I was a little concerned as I did NOT get any confirmation email for my order or a tracking number. I was planning on calling them tomorrow if I hadn't heard from them or received the bullets. But fed ex brought them today.

                      Now to do some load work up. Anyone got any suggestions? I'll be shooting them out of a Monster 16" barrel.

                          Considering how good a deal this is, I went backc to order more. It says they are in stock, but after 3 different payment attemps, the website keeps failing, so I gave up
