Why wait? You can have one NOW! I have made over a half-dozen custom contour barrels in this caliber over the last four-five months. I have also shot about 2000 rounds of this cartridge and have quite a lot of load data.

If you are interested and want more information... references etc.., text me

I already have a couple of boxes of the 70gr Blitzkings, once I get the seating die from you and if the 25/223 upper arrives by next weekend I hopefully will have some load data and photos up. Really want to try to go to the PM Convention and want to bring this along for inspect and shoot. Hopefully have a few photos of smack down on some yotes before then.

Its good to hear that bullet makers are starting to gear up. I will look for a box of the 90gr to try out but the 70gr Blitzkings are really what I am interested in presently.

I do not think he was really aware, I talked to him earlier and sent a email about becoming a sponsor. Though for him as an Engineer, upper making is not his day job. But he is probably far ahead of most in R&D of the 25/223 cartridge plus a couple of other AR15 & AR10 based wildcats.

When I spoke with a little while ago he told me he was contacting them.
 
Those are sweet. I have a Browning B78 in 25-06 I wonder what those little guys would do in that rifle. It's probably too pretty to take coyote hunting anyway and loads too slow!

I do like the concept of this caliber in an AR.
