6.5 cal E-Tip Status?

[Diriel]

Hello,
I noted in a thread that Nosler is considering "taking care of their Scandinavian customers", by offering a 140gr E-Tip. Well I live in California, may I inquire as to the status of this? Living in California, this next season I am going to find my self in serious need of non-lead hunting bullets. I greatly prefer using 140gr in my Swede, and now that it is a 6.5x55 Ackley I could *REALLY* use some of these bullets. Oh, since I am here with Hat in Hand asking, how about 500 count box's of NC 6.5x55 brass?? Please? Perdy Please? Heck even 50ct box's i could make do with.....

Thanks for any info,
Gary

Looks like 2008 will bring the E-Tip in 150gr 308 150gr 7mm and 130gr 270.Don't look like there will be any 6.5mm

Is it to early to start a 2009 wish list?

Diriel, you may want to try 120 gr. Barnes the 140 will be very long need to be loaded down so the 120 can be loaded a little faster and do the job without length issues. I'm looking for 100gr. for my 260 but not holding my breath for Nosler they haven't got a 110gr. AB for the 6.5's yet so E-tips dream on!
