Yea, I got that email yesterday I might get some .323 rifle

howlnmad · 06-19-2012, 11:37 AM

Not bad prices. I buy a lot of Nosler seconds. It's usually discolored copper or the wrong color polymer tip on their BT bullets.

soundguy · 06-19-2012, 12:48 PM

i was wondering what the blem part was, as if it's a mar in the jacket, it will likely effect accuracy.

does anyone know if midway sells prvi bullets. i got my graff catalog yesterday, and prvi sells packs of 100 bullets for a couple bucks more than name brand 50 packs.

I'm really tempted to get some... anyone use any?

The blem is usually cosmetic.

JLA · 06-19-2012, 08:04 PM

The Blem is always cosmetic. Usually just tarnished jackets or as stated above the wrong color PT.

zant · 06-19-2012, 08:14 PM

I ordered 3 bxs of 6.5-120gr..good price...have bought them before and only thing I saw "wrong" was weird colored PT..

soundguy · 06-20-2012, 06:50 AM

wow.. now that's just a decent deal if all it is is truly cosmetic stuff!

JLA · 06-22-2012, 10:59 PM

Those bullets are gonna be way more blemished than that after they smack a steel plate running 3000 fps.

zant · 06-23-2012, 07:55 AM

Got my order yesterday-120gr 6.5mm.....appear to be Hornady A-Max BT--son went trough 1 bx and found discoloration on some-other than that,I don't know why they're blems....but for 19.00 a 100,I'm liking them......going to try 7828ssc and see how they group.

Appliancedude · 06-23-2012, 10:09 AM

The only thing I would buy is 270 130gr, and I can get them cheaper at Sportsmans. Midway is selling blemished 130gr spbt for $33.99, Can't tell what brand though. Sportsmans sells Speer and Sierra 130gr spbt for$27.99. Both in 100rd packs. I'm sure there are good prices in there somewhere, just not for me

312shooter · 06-23-2012, 12:40 PM

Recieved 500, 150gr 30cal bullets yesterday. Appear to be Hornadys. All look perfect, consistently scaled in less than .5gr difference. Finish is perfect. Only thing is the are repacked in the Midway reusable boxes. Maybe they are returns, overruns or damged packages. Great deal overall.

soundguy · 06-23-2012, 05:30 PM

gotta get me some!

hjsmith00843 · 06-23-2012, 09:53 PM

Might check into these. Does it only have cosmetic defect? I know they would not sell any that would be dangerous.

Mine were cosmetically perfect, no apparent blems or defects at all....very good buy!

hjsmith00843 · 06-23-2012, 10:14 PM

how often do they go on sale?

soundguy · 06-23-2012, 11:54 PM

i hope to make an order on momday if i can find any i need at a good price.. otherwise.. will be looking for prvi bullets..

Airdale · 06-24-2012, 01:54 PM

When Sierra Bullets were in Whittier Ca. There "blems" were one or two hundred produced before or after (can't remember which) QC found a bad bullet. They had barrels filled with "blems". You could buy them by the pound. Ah, the good old days.

Got some 7mm blems from Midway.

They can't sell bullets that have a structural defect, only cosmetic.

soundguy · 06-25-2012, 01:22 PM

makes sense.. too much liability!

howlnmad · 06-26-2012, 07:25 AM

Another good place to look for blems is www.shootersproshop.com if you like Nosler bullets. You have to check often cuz they go fast.
