Quote HistoryQuoted: Mostly discolored bullets. Never heard of "seconds" bullet sales at Midway? Nope. But then again, aside from the 110g black tips I bought a couple months back, never bought just bullets from Midway. Thanks for the info. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A quick check shows Midwayusa has Hornady 150gr FMJ w/c (100 ct)for 29 cents each. Sounds like we may have a winner! EDIT: For an extra $5 are the Spire Points going to give any better performance if used outside of the range? While it's not the intention, just curious. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010474050?pid=235800 Thanks |

American Reloading
has anyone tried the 125g HP from American Reloading? I just purchased some but haven't tried them yet. At 17 cents each, shipped. Seems like an inexpensive plinking round. |

Seems like an inexpensive plinking round. Maybe my math is off but 500 for $100 comes out to .20. Plus tax so about .21. So still a good deal but not .17. Or does the price go down if you order more? In for some experience and this may need it's own thread as the cheapest jacketed option out there. Thanks |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Use the 15% discount code. $84.99 shipped to your door. The discount code is at the top of the page and it's also provided to you at checkout. I was not charged any tax. It's funny how they say it's one price but then have a perpetual discount. I'm not sure if this is a brand new company or what but I can't find ANY vids/reviews of these bullets! Not one. What gives?? Thanks EDIT: Tried to use the ' projo15 ' voucher (coupon) code and I get an error message saying it's already been used.....still at $99 for 500. Something's not smelling right here.... |

When you first open the site, copy the code. |

"There is 1 error This voucher has already been used" That is what shows up in red at the top of the page when I enter the code into the "voucher" blank. Also, the 147gr bullets are $92.99 for 500 so even cheaper. But maybe the 125gr is more desirable for the 300 AAC.....? |

Reached out to American Reloading. They say to allow 2-3 business days for a response but in their generic/instant response email they say.... "Voucher codes - If you didn't add the code and are needing the discount just send us your order number and we will take care of you. Allow 3-4 business days for this to process. You will receive an email confirmation from AR and Authorize.net when this is complete."
So I guess I can buy the 125gr and/or the 147gr and just email them afterward with the order number for the discount. That only leaves the question....for someone that has never shot 300 AAC....what's the difference between 125 and 147 grain bullets? I guess I should also check my shiny new Lyman 50th. Thanks |

Thanks The 147's work ok for plinkers, recoil is increased and it's hard to find a better shooting, low cost bullet that Speer's .308 125 gr TNT. When you can find them. When they become available they are normally mentioned in the "where to find" thread as they are popular. Sierra also makes a good 125 and 135 gr bullet, Hornady makes a very good 130 gr Spire point. |

Great info as usual flash. I'll go with the 125gr. Just need to make sure my manual has a good recipe for it. Thanks |

I like 147-150grain FMJs for casual shooting, but the 110-120 grain spitzer bullets are better for just about everything.
Sierra's 110 grain hollow point Varminter (product 2110) is a great choice. It's easy to get a flat-shooting load with it, and it's extremely consistent. Hornady has several similar bullets, including the GMX, the V-Max, and the SST. This class of bullet runs for around 18-25¢ each. |
