Does anyone know whether the 69 grain BlitzKing Sierra loads in its .223 ammunition which has a bc of .357 is different to the 69 BlitzKing they load in their Valkyrie ammunition which has a bc of .370? I'm thinking it is the same, the difference being a loss in bc when using a 9 twist in the .223 for a projectile that has its bc optimized in an 8 twist...but I could be wrong. Does anyone actually know?
I don't know, but if you email Sierra, they will have an answer for you promptly. I had a similar question about the bullet used in their 55 gr HPBT .223 ammo. They got back to me within 2 business days; turns out it is a different bullet with a smaller HP than the normal 55 HPBT.
Hope that helps.
Odd they dont have a 69 BK as a component bullet.
I think after supply catches up with demand for components in general, they might make them available as a component.

Be nice.
I am not arguing but I bet they could make more $$ concentrating on their component bullets vs wasting time w ammo.

Agreed. Hornady doesn't offer the .224 60 grain Interlock as a component bullet. Too bad.

Perhaps so, but remember they supply a huge number of bullets to other ammo manufacturers - Federal, Sig, IMI and others.

Yep. Leaves us to scrounging for stuff from the classifieds here or moving on to other manufacturers.

But I got a bunch of them for peanuts last winter when midway had seconds. Keep your eye peeled there as Larry often has non cataloged bullets in the seconds and overruns.

That's good to know. Thank you.

When did they start making a .224 Interlock?
I don’t know that they did. I honestly just saw interlock and thought Hornady SP.

Yeah, I bought several hundred "Locked Core" .224 soft points from Midway a few years back, figured they were Hornadys. Cheap enough to gamble on for AR fodder. Mine are 62 gr though.
American Whitetail ammo in 223 Remington is loaded with 60 grain Interlocks.
