Have Hornady and Sierra quit making this bullet? I check their websites and don't see it on either one. I would like to find a couple hundred of them.

That .277" 150 RN is/was a great bullet for 99% of all deer and elk hunting with non-magnum cartridges. It lost virtually nothing in any way inside 300 yards to any wonder bullet, and killed critters exactly 100% dead. We can say the same for the equally fabulous .308 150 RN, by the way.

I'm showing Wideners still shows them, but not in stock. Hornady does not, nor does Sierra show a 150 gr. Round nose bullet in their new line-up. All the other places I've looked that show them as a production bullet do not show them as being in stock.
FWIW, these may be a less expensive way to harvest game, but the trend has gone towards spitzer bullet styles. RN's are hardly ever made anymore and are about to go the way of the dodo-bird. So, unless you find a bunch on sale what you see is what you get.
