ColoradoMattAnyone shot the 416 blemish bullets on sale at Midway.?
There is an unnamed 400 grain bonded core blemished bullet for sale at Midway. Anyone figured out what they are or how they shoot?
Thanks

The shape, and cannelure look like Hornady.
I don't know for sure, that's a good deal on bonded core bullets, I don't have a .416 but am tempted to buy some and run them thru my sizing die for .411" and use them in my 400 Whelen!

BaxterBThe bonded part is throwing me off. I don't think Hornday makes a bonded 416 bullet. It kind of sounds more like a Weldcore than a hornady based on the description. Can't think of too many firms that would go through the trouble of a round-nosed bonded 416. At that price it's worth a look I think.

ColoradoMattHornady, very briefly, made 400grain 416 inter bonds. Midway says the bullet photo isn't necessarily representative.

Ordinarily, one probably shouldn't care. However, it matters to me because of canelure placement and C.O.A.L. concerns in a custom rifle.

Ignore the cannelure.
Take a look at some of the loads the 400 Whelen guys are making. Canelures are all over the place.
Or cut a new one.
Haven't seen them but if they are like the ones I picked up (from Midway)and resized several years ago they work great.
As usual just my $.02

NONAGONAGINWhy would the cannelure placement matter if these bullets are for practice at less than top loads...seat where ever you want.
Simplest matter here is to buy some then measure!!!!..if I had a custom rifle I wouldn't trust ANY PICTURE or description to determine if they would work in my rifle...I would buy some and check directly...they're cheap enough for me to buy some for my Taylor.

gohip2000that's a basic hornady interlock bullet. It is not bonded, but tend to shoot pretty well. and are the economic bullet that would be great for bears or other NA big game
