Anyone have a good source for these? Seems like as of late, they seem to be disappearing.

Also, has anyone found these projectiles to be a little more accurate than regular M33 ball? My results were better with AP than M33.

80+ hits and no one to comment?

Surely someone has shot a few of these downrange and had a little experience with them?  Did you reload or just buy the factory surplus when you ran across it?

M2 ( black tip) AP bullets haven't been made in the US since WWII..
The only surplus stocks available were from Talon Mfg before they got shut down by the EPA a few years ago.
There just aren't that many left, so the price is going up.  (they used to be the least expensive/good shooting surplus bullet around)
They shoot best with H50BMG or IMR5010 powder in my rifles.

What kind of groups are you getting with those powders?

One supplier I was looking at was sold out. Happened very recently. Haven`t made a call to see if they will be getting more in. I only know of one other but was hoping someone might be able to fill me in on other sources for this bullet.
