Did anyone get some of the "300 Win Mag" powder from American today? I seen everything that came in, but nothing magnum wise.

Did anyone order the 85gr from American and not get them?? I ordered 2500 of them when they had plenty in stock.. they just told me their inventory was wrong and don't have any. Bummed these were something I was really needing.. they did ask if there was anything else I wanted and are sending me 6mm 107smk as replacement..

I ordered one box and got it. They have done this to me on other bullets. They were good on crediting fir different bullets and who doesn't need different bullets

First time that's happened to me. But they offered a refund or other bullets. Oh well. 224 85s are what I shoot in 22BR. Don't see those often

Sure. I bet they are Barnes 85 Match Burners or Nosler 85gr RDF..

they looks completely different so should be obvious.. RDF are long and sleek.. matchburners have a much longer bearing surface and fat like a football...

I ordered one box to try and they arrived but have not shot them yet.

The bullets do not look like a Match Burner or the RDF, as I have both in my stash. The 85 RDF shoots amazing from one of my 223 rifles and am hoping for the same out of these.

That's odd because I dont know of any other 224 85gr out there.. the next closest thing would be a berger 85.5... but that's not 85gr..

I love estate sales.

That long sleek bullet on the left looks nothing like the one he posted above.... thsts much longer/sleeker

MarshallDodge · 2025-04-03T12:45:14-0400

I just measured an 85 RDF, BTO is 0.652"

There is another company out there making 85s, but I can't find them online. From what I remember, they were making 22 Creed or 22BR ammo with crazy BC numbers. I wonder if it is their product.

I have SC but have not been able to find any regular H4831 in a while.

Man!!! You can never win with these things. Been waiting for h4895 or ARComp and when it's in stock I miss it by about half an hour.

Based on the AR title "Match Varmint" I thought they were the Mead 85gr, but they list their OAL as 1.129, so I guess it's not them.

DANG IT, missed the H4895 at AR. That would have been nice.
