[QUOTE="Dollarhyde, post: 1452541, member: 21784"] Fellas, It's true. There's an affordable High BC and extremely efficient for weight 257 on the market, and we've done the legwork of getting blanks available in one location. [IMG]https://www.facebook.com/BlackjackBulletCo/photos/pcb.1694640087287763/1694634480621657/?type=3&theater[/IMG] We've been working on this project over 2.5 years - our first tech drawing was created a little over 2 years ago and although the design has undergone a few revisions it ended up 0.032" longer and 0.8 grains lighter than the first draft. The production run of bullets will be available for sale in mid-July! We have 95 "fast twist" barrels coming in the next few weeks - 20 Bartleins, 20 Kriegers, 25 Liljas, 10 Rock Creeks (which will be shipping in 1-2 weeks), and we will finalize an order for 100 X-Caliber blanks in the next few days. We actually have 4 Rock Creeks that are not spoken for so if you'd like to reserve one of them hit me up on Facebook at facebook.com/blackjackbulletco. We will begin taking reservations on the Krieger Blanks next Wednesday the 27th when they are listed "in-stock" on the website. Anyhow, we have spent considerable time, money, and energy getting these fast twist blanks to be available before or at sales-launch of the BlackjackBullets.com webstore. We have also ordered 25 Creedmoor and 25x47 Lapua reamers from Manson and JGS to get all of the best Tactical/Match gunsmiths ready to chamber as barrels arrive. We tested the BC over two days shooting across an Oehler 88 System (dual chronograph + TOF) running the 131 grain Blackjack ACE out of a 25x284 using H4831SC (This information and more is on Blackjackbullets.com/news). Running the 131 ACE at 2940 fps the 1000 yd average was 0.330 G7. At 3140 fps the bullet tested out at 0.333 G7. Not too shabby. During the tests we had switching winds and still kept 1/2 MOA on 4-5 shots at 1000 and when we finished strings with 10-12 shots they were still sub MOA even with me and my shooting partner way out of practice since I've been working and doing business stuff and he's been busy in the machine shop. It's a great bullet and we can't wait to get them out to you guys. For you guys sitting on the fence, there will be A SECOND Blackjack 257 bullet hitting the market in 8-10 months which is specifically tailored for Long Range Hunting. The 131 ACE will work great in many hunting cartridges but was specifically designed to maximize the ballistics of 25x47 and 25 Creedmoor from short action magazines. The combination of barrel life, BC, and Velocity is truly hard to beat in 2.880" short action magazines common to "match" rifles. Anyhow, there will be more load-development, product announcements, and news being posted on the facebook page, website, and here on Long Range Hunting. I just activated a new account here 257 Blackjack so if you see a reply from that account it is the eventual sponsored account I will be taking up once it's activated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
