I bought a half case of these for practice with the rattler, I’ll just re zero with the 110 Barnes at the end of the training. As much as it pains me to say this, this is a pretty good price for quality .300 BLK at the moment.

Thanks - bought 200.

Only four of the 500-packs left. Unfortunately, the rebate window closed on 4/30.

Brownells is out, too. What makes these so popular?

They are well-suited to .300 BLK and less than 2/3 the cost of any similar bullet from Hornady, Sierra, etc. With the 20 percent off rebate that ended 4/30, they could be down in the $0.14/rd range if you could find them in stock. Other places list the 500 packs under $70, but haven't had inventory in the weeks I've been looking. With free shipping, that makes them $0.14/rd without a rebate, ~$0.11 if you could have gotten on the rebate. Hornady SSTs don't get much under $0.28/rd, Sierras are ~$0.30-0.34/rd.

Makes sense, thanks. I went the other route and I load heavy subsonic, 217gr Gallant bullets.

Attachment 53496

Sig ammo was showing sold out yesterday, but back in stock now. Ships fast. Ordered Monday, FedEx dropped it off this morning. But TX is close to the Sig ammo plant.

@LittleLebowski I have a few questions about them those projectiles if you don't mind.

How do they shoot out to 100-150?
Are you running them with a suppressor attached?
Are they reasonably clean?
Does the coating cause additional smoke?

Thanks. Did these guys acquire Leather Head projectiles? I notices the name on the golden brown variant and am wondering because i couldn't find Leather Head anymore when I looked for them a bit back.

This is apparently one of the best defensive loads, and not cheap or readily available at the moment. Midway has it at that the going rate, and free shipping if you spend $49 which is like a box and a half :D

I assume you're talking about this?

You'll save some over Midway if you wait a little while for TSUSA to get it back.

If you're talking just components, the #30362, 110gr TTSX is definitely NOT the same as the #30321, 110gr Tac-TX. The latter is specially designed to expand reliably at .300 BO short barrel speeds, down to ~1300 FPS as I recall.
