mlmiller1 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I'm about to need to order some 55gr fmj bullets for 3 gun. The hornady bullet SEEMS like the best(cheapest accurate bullet) deal but does anyone have other opinions? I can get the hornadys delivered if I buy 2k, at a tiny bit over 9 cents each. Also, I've got 69gr smk for longer distances but needing blaster or better ammo for the majority of stuff. I've actually been loading(no one faint) 55gr Montana gold bullets. The batch I had shot really well for me. I bought them before the big problems MG had. Recently I had a new AR with some mixed brass blaster ammo just for testing shoot into a .392" 3 shot group at 50yds. 3 rounds touching, also had a couple of bullets blow one hole out bigger twice. I know this wasn't great accuracy but is pretty nice, especially considering the equipment & conditions. Anyway, if I can repeat that accuracy or better, I would be plenty happy. So......opinions? Thanks Y'all! Edited December 31, 2015 by mlmiller1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairmckenzie1 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 wideners had 55gr mil spec bullets for 350 for 6k the other day. i think that makes it around 7 cents per bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Actually it is under $.06 per. $360 for 6k would be 6 cents per 1k. That is a good price. I get Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT for $80 per 1k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Can I ask where for 8 cents? Midway was 8 plus shipping for 2k totaling 9 each. I dont think I can buy 6k right now. May have to check wideners.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I can't buy 6k right now. Group purchase ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Widener's and Midsouth have good pricing on the Hornady 55 FMJ's, both seem to be out of stock on large quantities at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmiller1 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Group purchase is great but no one local is loading 223 that I know. Some are but not for 3 gun. Bolt gun 100rds is a big batch. Hahaha. Edited December 31, 2015 by mlmiller1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technetium-99m Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The 55gr Hornady bullets are fantastic. I really don't have a use for another 55gr bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 One thing to consider is that many consider the Hornady SP to actually be more consistent/accurate than the FMJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S/H is a bit much. But still pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Says Copper Jacket, Lead Core. I believe Wolf Gold is no magnetic, so these should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yeah, a guy on another forum posted his video of them... kinda like an unboxing video, and he said he checked them out with a magnet and they didn't stick. It appears he hasn't loaded them up yet and shot them for groups. He went on to say that shipping was less than $30, so it breaks down to about 5.7 cents each.

Bamboo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I use the wolf golds and if that is the same bullet then they are not magnetic. I was getting about 2" goups at 100 yd with wolf gold, so not quite as good as handloaded hornady 55gr FMJBT, but the price is good and would be worth a try.

mlmiller1 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yes, Hoser stuff. I've got 69gr smk for accurate stuff, just need cheap local 3 gun stuff. I'm pretty tempted.

Accuracy wise they can be what Extreme Bullets are, and still cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) If you are looking for 55 gr. FMJ bullets, I have 1600 (actually it is closer to 1650) Remington #23624 (.224 dia.) bullets that I will sell for $100 shipped via USPS Flat Rate.
