As good as Kyle's bullets are, I shoot a lot and for most of my testing and load development, I use the Hornady 300 gr. FTX/SST. Well, Hornady is no longer making and selling these boxed separate from sabots. That has been confirmed by my email with Hornady and Elkman actually calling them on the phone. That being said, the only ones you will find are those still on the shelf at your LGS!
Herman just called and said that Midway has the 300 gr. BLEMS on sale for $21/box of 50. I just ordered 7 boxes. I had also recently found the FTX's at Richie's Pawn and Gun and bought 300 there. All I am saying is if you shoot a lot, this is a good deal for a practice bullet.

Bill said you got your order......what did you think of them? Kind of weird with the clear tips? Only knew of the red ones by Hornady and the yellow by Knight. (actually made by Hornady) Mine look about perfect. Still kind of "Clunky" when compared to the AccuMax but need bullets for pre-testing loads.
Man.............can't believe how quiet things are on the forum?

Ive been buying midway blems for years (usually .452, but some .40) I tried testing some years ago, and couldn't find the faults. weights were all same as regs, sizes, etc. They shoot fine, I couldnt see a difference...outside the grey tip on some. I only use them at the range for fun, dont trust them for hunting. But for the price, I jump on the sale every year. I have a pile of those Blue boxes  |

I received mine and have shot over half a box with under 1 inch groups at 120 yards. I bought the ones that were $25.00 per box because the ones you ordered did not say polymer tipped and I was afraid they might be xtp,s.. Mine have yellow tips and slightly rounded base adges. They shoot good

Thanks for posting this info Richard I hope they will continue to sell the blems from time to time. I just ordered 5 more boxes that should last me a while.
