.416 factory seconds at Midway?
Has anyone had a chance to use the 400gr bonded round nose factory seconds bullets Midway has listed?
Midway LinkI'm primarily interested in using them on the range in my .416 Remington Magnum
Thanks

streetglideokI bought two boxes of them a while back but have yet to shoot them. They look just like the old Hornady round nose bullets, but the color is more of a brass color than copper. With the newborn baby in the house now, it's going be tough to get out there and shoot them, ugh.
Thanks! I ordered two boxes, we'll see how they shoot.
In my 416 Rigby Heym Express rifle I load them with 42gr of 5744 powder and Federal 215 primers. They are 1675fps at 33 feet and shoot minute of angle which makes them great fun for practice.
Mystery bullets. Great for practice.

"Bonded" makes me wonder if they're left over Hornady Interbond bullets.

stradlingwe are shooting about 400 of em a month on the range
work great

Arrived on the Big Brown Truck yesterday. Shot some today and got @2 1/2" groups where Hornady Interlocks usually are around an inch (at 100 yards). They'll work for practice off hand and mooseses.

gohip2000These are the older interbonds. I just got mine the other day. My experience from shooting into water, wood, and clay are that they seem like they would work fine for anything in north america or plains game. I have never shot buffalo, but I think I would want something a little tougher for buffalo or heavier.
