Is it just me or is Sierra one of the worst for being behind seems like their bullets are unavailable for a long time now other manufacturers are popping up now and then but not these. 22 cal 50 Blitzkings and 6.5 140 gr Gamechaser are like a unicorn??

Sierra is now loading ammunition. I suspect that they are getting ammo out on store shelves, and people are buying 5x what they used to buy.

I think it's more caliber rather than maker. I've had 6.5 129 SST's on backorder since Feb. Haven't seen any flavor 50g tipped .224 in months.
The truth angers those whom it does not convince

Been waiting on 130 Game changers for the 6.5 majority of the year. Had to give in and buy another bullet to work. Not happy
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I bought some 130 (.264) TMK bullets just because they were available. They are incredibly accurate out to the 400yd line, which is the farthest I've shot them. I'm told that they have excellent terminal performance on whitetails. During lean times you've just got to go with the flow.

I can find some Sierra bullets here no problem. It none are in .264 cal that I’ve seen in over a year.

I got lucky this spring and bought a box of 6.5 140 game changers and haven’t seen any since.

I've used the 95 grain TGK to kill both coues and mule deer. Very effective bullet
