I still have 2000 of the Blackjacks. I will get a comparison picture when I get home.

Mine came in today also...
Checked along side of the Black Jacks, and can not tell the difference..
Weight checks are as close as the Blackjacks were, 20 at random were all 130 and change, nothing more or less...Hopefully I can get some trigger time in before the months up..

I was kind of under the impression that the Blackjack bullets were more for hunting. Using target (match) bullets for hunting is a bit of a gray area that just keeps getting wider. I have a couple of barrels headed my way, one 7 twist, one 7.5 twist. Reamer is suppose to ship Thursday, What cold possibly go wrong? 
Is there such a thing as a 25XC?

If you can think it up it can be made.
I have 2 25 SAUM improved guns and about to do a 25x47 I think

I got mine just now. very similar to VLD in appearance. I wish it were 120 gr and a little fatter, shorter. 500 bc would be fine with me.
I figured Sierra would jump on that money train. Luckily I have 1000 BK 131s and several hundred Berger 133s. Think I'd burn up two barrels with how many I have of each. Good to see they are available again just too bad BJ wasn't still selling them.
How are these shooting for you guys?
Not that they're available anywhere

These appear to be identical to the 131 Blackjack and those seemed to perform well for everyone and as much as I hate to assume anything it's probably relatively safe to assume these will perform the same since they appear to be the same bullet.
I'm hoping to get my 25 SAUM this week but I'll be giving the 134 ELD-M a go first.
If you currently have a 25cal and you're looking for some pm me I may be able to help you out with that.
If they are not available where you are looking its because they didn't order them or don't have their shipment yet.

So the 131BJ and 131 Sierra are indeed one and the same identical bullet with no change other than the label on the box they come in?

I have some of the new Sierra 131's but I don't have any Blackjack 131's so I can neither confirm or deny but it sounds like they're either identical or VERY close.
