They can’t get the material and/or load rounds fast enough to satisfy demand for their existing loads, so probably have not expended much effort on a new cartridge.
I’m (un)patiently awaiting a solid copper load from Barnes or Black Hills (using Barnes bullets), or even a GMX load from Hornady. I don’t reload so I’m at the mercy of the factory offerings.
The Hornady loads shoot really well for me, especially the ELD-M and the ELD-X, so that covers me for now. But I really like the GMX and TTSX bullets for deer because I don’t end up having to scrap meat due to lead pieces from the bullet coming apart.
That makes sense about the supply and demand environment we are currently in. I'm just excited by the cartridge and have adopted it and would like to see it catch on.
Amen to that! It’d be nice to see some loads from Federal with their trophy bonded bear claw bullets along with solid copper loads from the solid copper companies.
