I've had great luck with Midway Blems over the years and will continue to buy them.
Can anyone help me guess what bullet this is before i spend the money to get a box shipped?

Ive been looking for a bulk blem purchase of 130gr-150gr copper monos for a while now.

What does Midway have to say about it?

 

[dixiecricket]

They are purposfully vague about what you are getting and the pictures are often genericized to obscure the manufacturer of the projo. Most of what i recieved has been Hornady products from their CX, SST, and TAP offerings. They also make export only bullets that are not on the US catalogue

At that price you better get more than one box. Midway inventory is now at 405 boxes. Probably not blems, just over stock purchased.

@slm9s i bet that ECX is just it. I had really excellent performance from the .224" 53gr TAP/ECX on pigs a few years back and they made to most wonderful mushrooms.

Not to derail the thread, but has anyone tried these "Factory Overrun" .308" 150gr FBSP from Midway?

Since they're not labeling them as blems or factory seconds, I'm assuming they're first-quality...

I bet it is a Speer bullet. Midway has 460..... 500ct. bulk pack boxes in stock at this minute. Eligible for free shipping with over $100. purchase. That's cheap shooting.

Thanks for the heads up on those.

Soo, i shoot 300blk, 308W, and 300WM and am not afraid to buy seconds. If the .308 and .300wm dont like a bullet, i can always use it as 25yd range practice fodder in 300blk.

They have pretty recent reviews with pics of what the bullets really look like. Not bad IMO.

The ones that I purchased look like a Speer Hot-Cor.

One heck of a good buy in my opinion and they shoot just fine out of my Garands.

TBH, I found them through shootingbot.com ... pretty handy search engine.

They do look like the Hornady 150gr ECX but the ad does say:
"A generic image of a similar bullet is shown."

These are Sierra Pro hunters. At least the ones I have gotten from this deal.

The main question, have they shot accurately?
I saw the blackout reviews, was wondering more about accuracy in ought-six or 308 Win speeds?

Absolutely! These look, load and shoot just as good from my 06' as my Sierra labeled Pro Hunters. Ogive to base length measures the same and all. Some portions of the lead tips are noticeably different and not as uniform as my brand named Sierra but I can not see that on targets at all.
