Powder IN-STOCK thread

Midway has Federal 215M's in stock with free shipping, still have to pay Hazmat. Haven't seen these in my local stores in a long time.

 
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 :p

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

I am just getting into 223 boltgun so I bought 1 box have no idea whose they are I can post a pic when I get home?

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 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.
