Wow, I just ordered 300 Hornady A-Max 155gr .308 bullets through this sale and it cost me $48 with shipping. Great deal going on here guys, but they are going fast. I missed out on the 168gr A-Max's in the time it took me to fill out my credit card info, they went from instock to gone!

TATER · October 24, 2007, 04:16 PM

Same thing happened to me, 168 were gone at the same time as I was
trying to put them in my cart...

sindiesel666 · October 24, 2007, 05:11 PM

Yeah, same thing here, 150 grainers became unavailable while I was finishing up with the credit card, so I got 168 grainers instead....

1K should last a while for my K31.

CowTowner · October 24, 2007, 07:48 PM

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I got the 41 Magnum (.410) 210 grain bullets I needed. 300 of them in fact.

shooter_john · October 24, 2007, 07:52 PM

There are a few deals left! I got some .243's for my son (who is 1

) and got myself a couple of hundred .25's. Oh how I wish I woulda got in on this stuff earlier. How did you find out about the sale???

boltgun71 · October 24, 2007, 08:13 PM

I found out about it in a email from Midway and here on TFL from lgsracer's post. You can subscribe to Midways newsletters and email specials on their website, I usually get 1-2 emails on specials and clearances from them every week. Glad you guys have been able to get in on the savings. When I first looked at their site earlier they had 5 pages of bullets listed, I see they are down to 3 now.

lockedcj7 · October 24, 2007, 08:47 PM

I just snapped up 500 of the .355" 124 gr. so I can load some plinking loads for my wife's G19 and 200 of the .284" 139gr.

Both of these are for teaching my son how to shoot. He's 4 and I'm planning ahead.

tomh1426 · October 24, 2007, 09:04 PM

Is $23 for 100 .45's good?
$11 for the bullets $12 for shipping
Im just starting reloading and so far Ive been using whats been given to me but that seems expensive, the shipping kills it.
Or are my price guesses off a bit

mohutley · October 24, 2007, 09:07 PM

I ordered 1100 yesterday...I just happened to need some and saw the sale. Has anyone tumbled bullets to clean them? I'm not sure how blemished these will be but it sounds like you could give them a bit of a cleaning like cases (maybe not if they're not completely jacketed or are poly-tipped?), if they're especially ugly.

mohutley · October 24, 2007, 09:15 PM

Tom - Save up, keep your eyes open and make a larger purchase. Also, some others places like http://www.wideners.com also have some good prices and specials. I usually try to pay an average of about .10/bullet after shipping, for .30 cal, .44mag, .45ACP, whatever.

If you're reloading, it's hard to "save money", but buying in bulk at least gives the appearance of it.

Sigma 40 Blaster · October 25, 2007, 12:29 AM

Tom. Unless you're shooting from a Glock check out some cast bullets...way cheaper than that.

I pay about .06/bullet for 125 grain 9mm and .08/bullet 180 grain 40 cal. You can get .45 bullets around that price range.

Do a search for cast bullets on this forum and you'll get hundreds of possible sources. Midway's Oregon Trail bullets aren't too high either.

kenneth owens · October 25, 2007, 10:34 AM

I got mine!!!!!! 500 125 gr match 9mm

tomh1426 · October 25, 2007, 11:35 AM

Dosent lead make a mess?
I never shot lead, my father has it drilled into my head that lead is no good.
Is their any drawbacks to using lead, is it hard to clean up after?
Sorry dont mean to hi jack this thread

Linear Thinker · October 25, 2007, 12:17 PM

Tom - search this forum for "lead poisoning", you will find a lot of info. Many folks won't touch lead, I am one of them.

kenneth owens · October 30, 2007, 10:49 AM

ups just dropped off my order from midway,the 125gr match hp 9mm.got to looking at them, these are the HAP bullets

I am 99% sure they are

BLEMISHED!!!! they looked new to me!!! 500 bullets for $39.00! compare that to unblemished not bad

boltgun71 · October 30, 2007, 04:22 PM

I got mine from UPS a few days ago. I opened up one box of 100 to check them out and in 100 bullets only 1 had slight discoloring. The bullets are extremely bright and in excellent condition. Well worth the money.

sindiesel666 · October 30, 2007, 08:27 PM

Can someone post some photos please?? I'm deployed to Iraq right now and I've got a 1000 .308 bullets, but gotta wait another 3 months before I get my rat paws on them.

Pics, I need pics just to get me by for now....

CowTowner · October 31, 2007, 08:44 AM

I'll throw up a couple of pics when I get home for you. My 41 Caliber (410) appear to be XTPs and I can't find a blemish on them

lockedcj7 · October 31, 2007, 08:48 PM

Got mine yesterday. Can't find a thing wrong with them. For the price, I expected them to come in plastic bags but they were neatly boxed in Midway re-usable blue boxes!

CowTowner · October 31, 2007, 08:59 PM

I just weighed a few and they seem to be .9 gr light. Maybe that's why they were on sale. Any way, I promised a couple of pictures. And I deliver.

shooter_john · November 1, 2007, 09:40 AM

Out of the 400 I purchased, I'm yet to find a "blemish" with any of them
