Thanks, for the heads up.
Only allowing 2 boxes but that's better than nothing. Thrse have been unobtainium for, well, years now.

Years ago, my uncle had one in a .375 JDJ…..at that time Hornady 220 grain flat points were available. He made a few nice kills with that package! memtb

Wonder how they'd do around 2400fps out of a .375 Ruger? Make a good deer load I would think

I load them in the H&H using H4895 to around 2,400 fps. Great fun.
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

Appreciated; ordered a couple boxes to monkey with 👍
I've got a couple other bullet loads worked up in my 375W, but nobody's had those Sierras in stock since I got the rifle. Options are always nice 😁

They're not kidding about the 2 box limit. Today it won't let me order any more for 14 days.
So, had my son order a couple boxes.

Shot some test loads with them yesterday... good enough for me 😁 I'll be ordering more next week if they still have any in stock. They did not respond well to speed in my rifle; all the warmer loads looked like buckshot with every powder I tried. I don't like kicking the crap out of myself, anyway 🤷♂️ 1700fps was about the magic mark for me. N130 and IMR3031 were the best shooters of the bunch. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/D0SPHH8p/IMG-20240321-144506.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/wBsyKzVm/IMG-20240321-182105.jpg)

That's a good sign. Maybe Sierra will make the .358 225 gr next. I boy can dream anyway, right?
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
