Surplus bullets

Anyone try the surplus 175gr fmj M118 bullets?
Or know of a cheap place to get them from?
I saw them listed at wideners.

Not trying to be rude, but is it the 118 Special Ball, Match, or the 118LR.
There is a difference. The 118 is a 173gr FMJBT and the 118LR is a 175gr BTHP. Try some in your rifle and see if it likes them. If it's the 118LR I would use them for deer hunting as well as paper punching.
If you can't get them cheap then try a box of the Federal or Remington with the 175gr SMK....basically the same round.

Id obviously prefer the BTHP for hunting. Who all sells just bullets?

Midway, Graff and Sons, Natchez, Cabela's, Blue Star...there are plenty of companies that sell just bullets
