Anyone bought these before? I have some .30 165's, 9mm 124's and .458 350's on the way. The pictures all look like Hornady bullets (of which I am a fan). They were really cheap IMO. The 9mm's were under $10 for 100 hp's. The .30's and .458's were under $20 for 100. If they shoot decently, it will be a bargain!

give them a visual inspection first. i have bought tons of 375cal blem bullets and well they are sold cheap for a reason.

 

[jbpmidas]

I am planning on a few throw aways. What's acceptable? 5-10%? What problems have you found? Misplaced cannelures?

 

[Beladran]

most common has been out of round. fallowed by the base of the bullets were swoll out. some dont have cores.. never had a cannelure issue.. 10-15% are visually junk out of the box. I would say 60% are up to spec. your 458's and 9mm i wouldnt worry to much about the accuracy but i bet you want accuracy from your 30cal an these bullets "might" not cut it.

Most of my hunting is inside 100 yds. If they'll expand I'll be happy. They said only cosmetic blemishes that should not affect performance. We'll see. I'll report back.

 

[Beladran]

only cosmetic????? :bull: :blol: that will be a first.. granted they could have been pulling from the bottom of the bucket when i ordered all mine.

 

[jbpmidas]

They said it was a new shipment! Who knows? Won't be my first "learning experience!"

 

[jbpmidas]

Here's what they say. Don't remember where I came up with them not affecting performance.

Midsouth Shooters - Blem Bullets! IMPORTANT!!! Limited Quantities - Once these are gone, they are gone! OEM Blem Bullets Are Back! These are overruns, cosmetically blemished and incorrectly packaged bullets from a major bullet manufacturer. As part of our agreement to sell these, we can not disclose the bullet manufacturer.

Got the .30's and 9mm's today. They look just like Hornady products. The .30's look identical to the GMX line, including the double cannelure. There are some cosmetic blemishes, but that is all I have found so far. I did not open the bag, but I will post more details when I load some. I feel like I got one heck of a deal. If I place another order with Midsouth, I will definitely add some more to my order!

The only ones I have purchased were some 350 JHP in .501. The all shot very well!!

 

[jbpmidas]

I've got these and some .458's coming. I will be ordering more if they are still available.

 

[Beladran]

need pics! im reluctant to give them a try after the last batch but if you say they good i might buy a few hundred

 

[Beladran]

well never mind... no 44 or 375 cal

 

[jbpmidas]

I'll post some pics of them all when the .458's come in.

According to Midsouth and UPS, my bullets and dies should be here Wednesday. I'll update and post pics then. I'll have a busy week or two ahead of me. I've got to load the .45-70's, scope and zero two rifles, finalize a load for my '06, and load those for deer season. I'll be out of town for a week in November. Our annual training is at the fire academy. Timing sucks!
