I got me 1000 Hornady* 375 caliber 300 gr RN-ENC's on the way. Thanks for the tip.

H. C.

*LS&B can't say they're Hornady's, but they did submit to some interrogation about bullet construction.

The part numbers are the same as Hornady's but with an added digit.

For those looking for a good price on Blem bullets, Nosler sells them thru a small shop in their plant in Bend Oregon.

Stateside you can order bullets for about 30% less than I have seen them in discount stores. The shop only charges about $5.50 to $6.00 for shipping, regardless of the size of the order and where you live in the USA.

If anyone would like me to locate the number, since I live in Oregon, I will be happy to do so and email it to you.

I, for one, would like for you to locate the number. Thanks,

All my Noslers are blems from Nosler...I have shot Buffalo and everything with them, never found out why they are blems, a guy at SCI who works for Noslers tells me they are the ones that fall on the floor etc. and that there is nothing wrong with them.

I was at that Bend store just last week and grabbed some .224 40gr bt and one package of .308 150gr bt. Great prices.

They don't always have all the styles available as blems, though. I wanted some of their partition .458 300gr but was S.O.L. [Frown]

Guys,

I am going to post this as a separate Topic so it can be found by others instead of trying to remember where you last saw it.

But save some for me people.

Oh they also sell new bullets thru the store also. Shipping was $5.96 regardless of size of order, at least the last time I ordered something.

Guys, just thought I'd combine that piece of information with the following mail from my friend in MT - trying out his new Juenke bullet concentricity machine. This machine is supposed to be able to measure the internal "perfection" of bullet - concentricity in form of jacket, core, air "holes" etc etc. I'm trying to avoid being technical, as I don't really know what the various measurement units mean. On the other hand, this is the only device I have ever heard of, which is supposed to be able to foresee concentricity of bullets...

quote:

An interesting machine. Care must be given to calibration, before and
especially during testing. There are two tests for flat base bullets and
three for boattail designs. Essentially, you check ogive and boattail
runout as well as body out-of-round and voids between jacket and core.

The 8mm Hornady's looked fabulous in the body, less so in the ogive. The J36
are definitely "golden beebee's" - only one of the ten I tested was more
than 5 DU. Many were less than 3. Some Partitions looked stellar, others,
not so fine. I didn't get to the X bullet yet.

One item of particular note: Bullets are FRAGILE. The manual says a bullet
dropped on the floor is likely to be worthless. I had to test this. I found
an A-max 140gr in 6.5mm that read 6 DU (deviation units) or less in all
tests. This is one notch below golden BB status. I dropped it from waist
level on the concrete floor of my shop. Destroyed! The body would not read
less than 28 DU and the ogive was completely off scale. What a wake-up call.

Deviation Units

0-5 Golden BB's, Bench rest gems.
6-10 Very good.
11-15 Fair bullets, fine for hunting.
16-20 Group openers, not quite flyer class, but no good for competition
21 and above, True flyers. Will always stray from POI. (toss them)

Note the issue of dropped bullets...

FWIW - mike

Raamw,

Thanks again for the tip. I got 1000 today. The 300 gr 375 caliber RN bullets look pretty good.

Matter of fact, they look different from other bullets. They're all yellow and brassy colored, not the usual copper-looking gilding metal color of most bullet jackets. Since they are only $0.11 apiece (shipping included), I'm not going to feel too bad cutting one down the middle to see what the inside looks like.

I'm particularly interested in that brassy color. I wonder whether thats the color of the jacket all the way through or whether it is a skin-deep cosmetic thing; maybe so you can tell your solids from your softpoints in a hurry.

H. C.

Mike,

I hope that little marks these bullets have on them are machine-made and not from dropping them on the floor. I never thought about the possibility ruining a bullet by dropping it. It makes sense, though. You can probably slosh a soft lead core around inside a hard jacket so that the center of mass isn't any more at the center of form, even though the external measurements haven't measurably changed. I guess now I'll have to shoot a whole lot of these blems before I trust them individually to not be fliers.
