New Sierra 6.5 hunting bullet possible

[lutheran]

In an e-mail visit with a Sierra tech, he said there was a new 6.5 BTHP GameKing bullet(probably 130gr.) on the "new product" discussion table. He encouraged me to send a letter to the man in charge (Matt Reams) informing him of my interest in such a product. I did just that.
Surely the more e-mails and letters of interest they receive the higher the possibility of production.
Anyone interested please contact Sierra expressing your interest.

Thanks

I seem to recall suggestion myself to Rich there awhile back, a 130 would be a good one.....

More options than a 129, 130 Accubond, 130 Berger would be welcome.

A SMK and Amax in 130 would be 'about right' for 6.5 bullet choices

I would very much like to see a gameking in .264. Here is Sierra's email to make it easier for everyone. Unless lutheran has direct email to Matt Reems (if so please post)

Correspondence with Sierra on the possible new 6.5 BTHP GameKing has been with technician Paul Box. He supplied Matt Ream's e-mail address for 6.5 shooters to express their interest in this possible new bullet production.

personally, I would quite like a more flat base design 130-140gr bullet for "normal" hunting distances, kind of like a prohunter or nosler partition, but possibly with a plastic tip.

this is not going to happen in the near future. i emailed my support of the idea and received this response from matt @ sierra...

Cam,



I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we are not working on such a bullets and I am not sure how this internet rumor got started. I have added it to the request list, but it will not be made any time in the near future.



Sorry,



Matt

This may fit the bill for some of you, I've never used this thing. Swift Scirocco 130 grain, claimed .571 BC.

Wonder what near future means.
Wonder how their next new product meeting will go.
Keep buggin them.

The 130 Nosler Accubond works just great for me. ;D
