    I have a custom badger action chambered for 175 SMK's.... does anybody have them in stock? I'd like to at least do some load development!
     
    Damn, I just checked Sinclair and it looks like they are now out. They popped up last week in stock and I freaked out and bought 500 immediately. I was telling my office mate 'Check this out...these will be out of stock in like an hour'.

    Yet, they were still in stock like 6 days later!
    Sinclair got them out to me by the next day too. I'd keep checking in with them. Price isn't the best...but hey, options are limited.
     
    You might want to check out the Nosler Custom Competition 175 HPBT also. I can interchange them with the Sierra 175's using the same charge and primer and they are just as accurate in my rifle...cheaper also !
     
    Thanks to all for the feedback... The search continues (Bass pro was out...).

    I'll check out the noslers as well, sounds like a good replacement.
     
    I just picked up 1k 175smk from Bruno's yesterday. Same day shipment, even though his email/phone communication is terrible!
     
    I ordered 1000 69gr .224 SMK's a couple days ago and they shipped today as well.
     
    I ordered 500 175 SMK's from Bruno's yesterday... still no confirmation invoice.
     
    Anyone look at the shipping cost on there bill from Brunos?......I ordered 1k 175's for Genepool and myself....Shipping was $33......Small but heavy box from PHX to STL....really....at least I got in before the price increase.....now with that said....they did have them in stock so I'm happy, but $33.....
