Rpm has more case capacity. Biggest thing for me is no fire forming
When did those come out? Did you happen to compare to a 131 BJ? Be nice if it's a straight up replacement for the 131 BJ. They shoot great out of my 25-284.
This IS the 131 Blackjack. Sierra made the 131 Blackjack Ace. Blackjack just didn't continue to pay Sierra to make them, so they went out of business.When did those come out?

What is a 25mbkThis IS the 131 Blackjack. Sierra made the 131 Blackjack Ace. Blackjack just didn't continue to pay Sierra to make them, so they went out of business.
I assume Sierra had a non-compete clause, and it ran out or they got a ruling BJ was dead forever.
I have 8 of the original BJs, and they are identical in length, BTO, and boattail.
They shoot amazingly in my 25MBK.
These were 3 quick test loads. 3-shot groups.

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks. I was hoping they'd start to make them, but wasn't sure they'd be identical to the BJ for legal reasons. Think I still got about 300 of the 131 BJ. Those are some great groups!This IS the 131 Blackjack. Sierra made the 131 Blackjack Ace. Blackjack just didn't continue to pay Sierra to make them, so they went out of business.

My guess is a non-compete that either ran out or got thrown out.I am surprised that Sierra waited this long to release this bullet design. But I am grateful that Sierra has decided to release these for us to shoot since they performed well in my platforms and cartridges. Originally I purchased 500 pieces just to test. Then I bought several thousand because of the performance during testing. I'm not pushed to find these in stock currently but I will buy some to test/compare to the originals.
Great Targets by the way!
