Bullet Manufacturers: 7mm Isn’t Priority

[General RE LEE]

I've been able to score top brand 6.5 and .30 caliber bullets but forget about 7mm. It must be down the priority list from manufacturers. I've been on the hunt for the bullets I'm looking for and nothing.

Pure speculation from my standpoint, but I buy it. I can't find what I need either.

7mm was on the shelves for months in small shops and such. Since we couldn't find 30 and 65 for ever that's what they are making check the small shops there's still some around, they have to start making more 7mm bullets to load for factory hunting ammo that will be shipping in September, wait for August, it will be coming.

Yep my hope is there is a going to be a big release of 7mm components coming in August.

Me too I just started a 7mag project back in January

I have seen quite a bit of Berger 7mm on shelves. A few Sierra in the heavier offerings. And Hornady off and on.

Hammer has 20 different 7mm bullets and all are in stock. Just saying.

 

[Another Casual]

From looking at local availability, Hornady is still pumping out the 162 ELD-M

That's what finally made me "bite the bullet" and buy some.
I'm excited to try them, but I really don't have the time to do load development again this summer. I just finally found an awesome load with Barnes

hopefully development is as easy as everyone claims.

Maybe look for .284.....I know the States aren't that friendly when it comes to our metric system!

 

[chindits]

Bought 150 accubonds over the last month. 100 on line and 50 local.

 

[crashlanding]

I resorted to looking at gunbroker for 7mm 175 game kings spbt, they didn't even have any listed. When is this chit going to end

Ehh...?

Everyone should have time for 9 shots...

I live in the Houston area and I have been able to find them, 10ring and Carter Country last week had several boxes of the 7MM Berger 180 &190 GR Hybrid Target and Sierra 180 GR HPBT's. I captured 2 of each.
