Where to buy A-Square's?
The only source I have found to purchase A-Square solids is Midway USA.

Does anyone else know of retail or factory outlet?

They are awfully expensive for a turned bullet. (More than twice the price of a North Fork or Barnes).

Then, why buy them? Go with the other brands. Wink

George,

Fair question.

I want a RN solid.

The North Fork is a FN and does not feed well in my rifle, which has a very rudimentary feed ramp.

The Barnes is a RN-FN, and I had a load worked up for the old RN but they are no longer available.

The A-Square feeds perfectly in my rifle, shoots to same POI as the North Fork 450 grain bonded soft point, and may be made from a harder metal than the Barnes. It also penetrated a bit more due to being 1 gram heavier.

Also, Ganyana vouched for them.

I understand why you want to stick to a particular round nose, but I suggest that you get the feed ramp polished and round off the semi-sharp corners to your chamber. That way, you don't have to depend only on one type of bullet for your shooting. You've got to be close to a good rifle mechanic in Oregon.

Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place
among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

Andy,

Have you tried TCCI? They are the same shape, and I believe the same material, as A2 solids.
