6.8 western

[Bowhunting197]

Hey guys, I’m pretty set this year with 80 rounds of browning long range pro 175 sierras. I was looking to pickup a few more boxes but everywhere is sold out.

I reached out to browning and Olin manufacturing without much response about lead times, anyone else have any communication or idea why everything is so far back ordered out of stock?

Must be a popular loading for it, my browning loves em.

Thanks

How does your rifle shoot the 170gr Winchester Power Point? I would stock up on that if you find that it shoots well.

Willing to bet the .270 lovers will be around shortly giving praise to the availability and greatness of 6.8w, stand by.

Scheels usually has a good supply in their online store; however, people may be stocking up for hunting season.

Btw:
1) The170g Nosler BT load would be a great alternative to load with the Sierra load.
2) From my 24" barrel, I am getting just under 3,000fps with the 165g Nosler ABLR. If I draw a tag for a big animal, I am definitely using it as I get great accuracy as well.

Cabela's has both of those loads in stock right now. I believe both loads are part of Winchester's rebate this fall.

Factory ablrs or hand loads? If reloading what powder are you using?

I was in the same boat this summer. Not being able to source the sierras gave me the nudge to start reloading.

The Browning 175 load always sell out fast. Don’t know why they don’t do bigger runs.

Factory ABLR loads.

At some point, I'll start to reload the brass I am collecting, but I don't feel the need to start doing it. I have been very happy with the factory loads I have tried.
