I just shot some of Midway Usa's re packaged bullets. They were the Hornady 155gr match FMJ. Earlier, I had picked up a double handful of old filthy LC74 brass on the range, cleaned, FL sized, trimmed and reamed pimer crimps. Loaded with a conservative charge of 40.9gr of H335 for about 2700fps (guess), and Federal Match primers. Seated at .010 off the lands. All I was attempting was to fireform these cases to my old FP's chamber as I was intending to neck size after and was VERY pleasantly surprised with the results. I shot 5 5 shot groups and virtually all were between 1/4 and 3/8" at 100M ! This was the first load with these bullets and basically pulled out of my a-- Needless to say, I will have no problem buying blemished bullets in the future. Today I ordered two boxes of blemished Nosler Custom Competition 155's from the Nosler site @ $19 per 100. I hope they shoot as well as the Hornady ones did. I'm almost scared to fiddle with this load as it seems ****ed near perfect as is, but I've never payed attn to that saying if it aint broke don't fix it.
