Due to the fact that I shoot a 257 Weatherby, I'd like to find some more 117 gr. Pro Hunters. It is a discontinued bullet offering from Sierra. I reload these and they are a very good bullet for the high speeds of the Weatherby. So with the recent madness, I have a hard time finding them. Anyone know where to look? I am not a big time hoarder but I would like to find a few boxes of these maybe. If I can't buy or barter some, I guess I will have to find an alternative.

That is a bummer--but I suspect the hornady 117 gr interloc is very similar.

Midway has the Berger VLD 115 grain and the Hornady 117 grain SST in stock.

Try some brick and mortar gun shops in your area. I've had some luck finding discontinued bullets at small gun shops that don't list their inventory on the internet. But in today's market, you'll need a bit of luck to find them.
Do what LeverGunFan says... you would be surprised what lingers on a shelf in a good old fashioned gun shop ... no shipping and instant gratification .Try some brick and mortar gun shops in your area.

Make a friend at the shop and they will look out for you .
Avoid the big box places ...you want a small business , local owned and operated .

I have one box of the 117gr Pro Hunters, some Speer 120gr boattails and a box of 120gr Hornady HP's. I would sell any or all of them if you're interested.

I shoot a 700 Mtn 1/4 bore 06. 117s are super hard to find these days. After a quick check of my reloading bench draws I have 4 boxes of 117 Rd Nose and 1 box of spires. Rd nose are for my 25-35 spires are for the (above) rifle mentioned. Just keep checking those gun shops in your area especially those out in the countryside. That's how I found my supply of Hornady's. On line sources? " There in worst shape than I am when it comes to cartridge components."
