[Buckeye_68]

Yes, have patience.

Ha !

 

[HillbillyLongRifle]

Dont wait on Sierra! Buy some V-Max!

 

[HillbillyLongRifle]

Sierras prices too high for 20 caliber bullets now!

 

[358WCF]

Yes... right after the 225gr .358 SBT Game Kings.

I've given up on Sierra's supply chain failures - moving on to Hornady but reluctantly.

Sierra seems to have abandoned their reloading customers. A real shame because they make great bullets, at least they use to. Such is life, the only thing constant these days is change. Adapt and overcome.

I suspect govn't demand clause may have something to do with it

Dear Santa (Tommy T.): I have been a very good boy so far this year and am waiting very patiently for some 0.224" 95 gr Matchkings. I hope you will put some in my stocking this year!

PS - I left you some cookies and milk on the table by the Christmas tree.

Nice alternative-
These aren’t too bad- 32gr Nosler..500ct been sorted every which way possible
2 boxes on each side of middle is all .. 32bullets

If I was shooting for score, maybe. I have gotten several 32-34 grain 20’s to fly good enough for small varmint work. It’s just a royal PITA to have to work up loads for another bullet, or it can be. I have narrowed my powder selection down a bit, either it works or it doesn’t, not to hung up on one.

Years past I was pretty loyal to several brands. If they can’t supply my needs, I will come up with a different source else where.

I want to run sierra but vmax are in every store and have never been out of stock that i remember.

I have played with Sierra BlitzKings and Hornady VMAX. For the price difference, I can't justify Sierra any longer.

.32 V-Max shoots well in .20 VT, .20-222 and .20-223. Been using them for several years. Also like the 40 V-Max in the .222 - explosive!

 

[Buckeye_68]

Hornady is definitely priced far better ! The availability is definitely a huge plus too … I guess I’ll be doing some load development with the Vmax .

There's very little difference between the 32gr BK's and 32gr Vmax. The 32 BK is slightly longer by about .025 then the 32 Vmax but they both always seem to shoot very well and I think they perform nearly identical to one another. I've shot a lot of 32gr Vmax in a factory 12tw CZ 527 204 and they shot extremely well in that rifle. I have a Tikka compact 204 with factory 20in 12tw barrel and it seems to really like the 32gr Vmax as well. I've mostly only shot the 32 Vmax in the Tikka because I have lots of them but I'm sure the 32 BK's would shoot just as well.

Sierra uses a 36gr Blitzking in their 204 Ruger loaded ammo but they don't sell 36gr Blitzking's as a component bullet. Since they can't seem to keep up with demand of their other bullets it's probably asking to much for them to make/sell those 36gr BK's but in a 12tw those 36gr BK's should make for about the perfect match.

^^^
Have always hoped for a Sierra or Hornady 35-36 gr. for the .20-222. I know about the Berger 36, but don't like it.

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

I can tell you that, the 50 grain V-Maxes, shoot TINY, in my 1-14 twist, .22-250 so for ME, there's NO need for the Sierra BK's at, today's Ugly Prices and,.. they Destroy Sage Rats as good as anything that I've tried.
