Anyone know what brand these bullets are, they are 30 cal 168gr HP with a flat base, I don't know if they came this color or were coated they were in a box of miss stuff that I bought.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
Dean was it already loaded when you found it? Is that a brass or nickle coated case? Have to go back and look at the spec sheet but it might be a Dummy round or the bullet out of one. I think i read they were blue in a nickle case. Could also be one of David Tubbs fire lapping bullets.

Looks like the old coated Barnes bullets. Believe those were called XLC.
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
I had 30 or so of them, this is one of the last one left, that is one I loaded they were just the bullets not loaded ammo.

They are Barnes bullets

The xlc is no longer made. If you had good luck with them try the new LRX. I believe you will be pretty happy with the new slugs. Part of the reason for the coating was to try and mitigate some chamber pressure in the earlier x bullets. Most of that has been solved with the "grooves" being cut into the new x bullet design. I live about 20 minutes away from the Barnes factory but never shot many of their slugs until the LRX came out.
