Hey roksliders has anyone used the 131 and how does it compare to the blackjack? How was it terminally on game? Planning on loading this in a 25 saum 21” barrel hoping for 3100fps, maybe wishful thinking.

Same bullet. Sierra made them for Blackjack.

Interesting, the posted g7 bc is much different than the blackjack which is why i was asking.

I was told they are identical on good authority. I have killed a stack of PA whitetail with 131 BJ out of a 25 Creed with excellent results. My creed is a very long barrel, I'm getting 2950. Longest shot was last year at 605 ish.

I'm getting 3150 out of a 25 SST with a 26" barrel. Similar out of my 25 PRCs.

I really like the 131, in my opinion, it's about perfect for my application. I'd love to try it on larger fare, but I don't have any trips out west planned soon.
