[QUOTE="257 Blackjack, post: 1458574, member: 106220"] Edd, yes we have been working with Sierra for a while on this project and our upcoming bullet the HTR. For our brass case which will complete the 257 Blackjack Cartridge & Bullet combination we will also be contracting with a venerated company. We tried to keep this High BC 257 project under wraps as long as possible until we had a pretty accurate release date. We shopped around from all the majors to many of the custom bullet shops that lean toward more efficient designs. We even priced equipment and lined up some dyed-in-the-wool BR bulletmakers to give us an education, BUT when everything was laid out there were two very important aspects to me. #1 - Competitive Pricing. We've done a lot of work to get this high performance 25 Caliber thing off the ground. 34 reamers for Match Shooters, 165 barrels, a freight load of bullets right out of the gate. Unfortunately going through the custom shops we could not get the pricing low enough for the market to adopt 25 caliber. It just wouldn't happen. To make this work we needed to keep pricing competitive, keep the quality high, and the performance a clear win-win for the shooter. #2 - Production Capacity & Expertise. We've seen how things can blow up in the LRP market and wanted to be ready for that. We really believe in 2-5 years a good % of the competition crowd will be running 25 caliber. Sales are already climbing and we wanted to avoid the common growing pains a lot of startups run into when the demand outruns their capacities. Sierra makes great bullets, our 131 ACE have been exceptional quality, and with their production capacity and expertise we will stay stocked with 131 ACE's and our HTR so there are no shortages when a lot of shooters make the switch. We've made some real heady on the 257 Blackjack case and I can't wait to show it off here on LRH once we do preliminary testing. [/QUOTE]
