This has been my go-to bullet for my 257 Roberts for about the past 25 years. Now Sierra has discontinued it!! My rifle doesn’t like BTs of any flavor so GKs are out of the question. Fortunately, I can get reasonable accuracy with 115 gr. Nosler Partitions and 120 Speer HCs so all isn’t lost. Nonetheless, I’m still PO’d at Sierra. Sent them a zinger expressing my disappointment. Not that a complaint from an old dinosaur up in Canada will get any attention but, I just had to get it off my back.😩

Unfortunately, importing anything from the US that goes “in, on or through” a firearm is pretty well impossible for Canadians unless it’s done through a licensed broker. For a few boxes of bullets it probably wouldn’t be worth the hassle.
Thanks anyways for your suggestion.

AND, Hornady has discontinued their fine 100gr IL and 120gr IL HP. Other than that, we quarter bore fans are in high cotton!

Jeez. It’s dull overcast and pouring rain here. Is there anything else you can add to make my day.☹️

Bobber, that’s unfortunate, I just sent my last Roberts down the road, and have 4 boxes of those bullets with no purpose.

And my misery continues.😞
Actually, I still have 2-1/2 boxes of 117 PHs left so I should survive for a while.
Heck, at my age that might be a lifetime supply. Now, that’s a cheerful thought.🥴

It always stinks when someone discontinues our favorite products.
Hornady doesn’t make the 270 grain Roundnose .375 bullets anymore.
Nosler quit the 200 grain .338 Ballistic Tips.
Ugh.

You could try the Hornady 117 gr. Interlock or 117 Gr. SST as a replacement for the Sierra Pro Hunters. But if your rifle shoots the 115 Partition minute-of-critter I would use those with no worries and not look back.
PASS IT ON!

Yeah, they cost more, but a 115/120gr Partition is a great choice if a rifle will shoot them.
Now with even more aplomb
