Cheers,

When I ordered my 7.5 twist barrel through the SARA Store I also placed an order for 500 X 150g SMK to try out. They told me they weren’t on the wholesalers inventory list but were going to enquire to see if they intended to bring some in and were going to get back to me if not. I haven’t heard back so I’m assuming they may be going to bring some in. My advice would be to place an order. Enquires are one thing, orders are another & business is business. If enough sales interest is shown then you would think they would become a standard item for them.

Trev, I enquired about the Sierra 6.5mm 150gn MK a week ago. OSA reckon they'll have them Jan/Feb 2018. It could be bs but I'll wait and see. I am building a new F open rifle that will be set up for the new heavier 6.5 pills.

Me thinks that may be a rich vein worth exploring !

I don't mean the 'American way' with a stunning paint job and multiple clear coats.

Just a design with function first ?

This is what more people need to do before they move onto the 7mm/300WSM.

That and wind reading while bisley style shooting. I’m no genius at it, but if we cant steer accurate 284’s and saums in wind shooting bisley style which is what it will be in South Africa, then there is no point expecting larger recoiling calibers to just magically go in the middle. Got to walk before you can run.
