[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 175577, member: 10"] Latest I have heard right from Richard is that he has drawn up a new tip design which will help with the issues he has been having with these bullets. Those issues have been: -Consistantly seating the tips with 0 run out. -Having the jacket grip the tips securely enough to prevent them from coming loose. -Getting the step down behind the tip to match up perfectly with the jacket thickness so that he can seat the tips perfectly flush with the end of the jacket with no step up or gap between the two. It is amazing how inconsistant one lot of jackets can be from one lot to another from many of the jacket makers. AS such, Richard has been working hard to get a contract with Sierra to use their jackets. This will be a huge boost for him and us as well. Problem is, setting up all the paperwork to get this international contract takes alot of time to get set up. From what Richard said, the contract has been approved I believe. Now its just a matter of getting the order of jackets in to start building bullets. Richard has been working on this design for a long time. He has gotten accuracy tests in alot of different barrels, he has had them tested on game, light and heavy game and in chamberings from the 338 Edge up to my 338 AM. He wants to make sure all the bugs are worked out before offering them to the public so it has taken a bit longer then say a conventional ULD RBBT HP would take to bring to market. They are coming, Richard is working hard on them. I would expect them by spring if all goes well from the jacket and tip suppliers. If they get Richard what he askes for things will go smooth, if they do not, more beating head against wall. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
