Where are the best deals for 55 gr bullets these days

[markm]

I can't remember. It was like another $20 bucks for shipping or something.

Markm what did you end up paying total with the shipping from Midsouth?

I just went to midsouth and placed a 6k pack in my cart. They want $51.57 to ship it to CA so brings the total for me up to $485.94

I guess if you were closer to them it'd be cheaper.

Bummer, I just got mine in March......they were $412.74 + $38.58 shipping (to WY) for $451.32 total, just a tad over $75/K. It was the best I could find at the time....

The Hornadays from Wideners used to be the cheapest I could find, and damn good bullets too. Now the Montana Golds edge them out just slightly.

Wideners - $475/6000 = $0.079
Montana Gold - $273/3500 = $0.078 or $468 for 6k so you save like $7 lol

I gotta say...I just loaded some of the Hornady 55's last night to develop a load for 3-gun. This batch of bullets is pretty sorry looking. The cannelure placement is all over the place, and the meplats vary quite a bit visibly with some having noticeably sharper points than others.

They shoot okay for what they are but the QC is poor on this lot, I may speak to my pal at Hornady about it....
