Overrun bullets on Midway?
Does anybody know who these are made by.

I bought .204 and .458 caliber blems at Midway some time ago that were identical to Hornady bullets I had.

My wild guess about what these overruns are would be possibly Hornady for the .308 caliber bullets. The 7mm bullet pictured looks like a Nosler to me but I don't know for sure.

I thought they might look like Nosler's too. But I think they look like partitions until you get to the boat tail. Am I correct in that.

Last 2 overruns I bought from Midway appeared to be Hornady when I match them up.


As usual just my $.02

They look like nosler solid base bullets.

Didnt federal load these a while back then drop them again.

The 165 grain 308 bt is a speer. They even list them under speer if you do a search by manufacturer under 308 cal bullets. I got 500 on order.

I didn't see any 180gr Sierra MatchKings in .308, so I moved on...

The 33 gr 22 cals are almost certainly Speer TNTs designed for the 22 hornet.

I thought Nosler themselves dropped them.

Nosler dropped them a while ago but I thought some were brought back specifically for Federal.

Nosler still produces and sells a few Solid Base bullets from time to time. Right now, they have 6mm and .270 SBs for sale on their website.
