[QUOTE="Gunpowder, post: 2546074, member: 1425"] I have quite a bit of experience with blems, mostly Hornady that I bought when they sold them at the factory before covid. Mostly good, and the blem is actually listed on the boxes, ie appearance, setup, and won't shoot/group are common ones. Buying them from Midway isn't enough of a discount most of the time for it to be worth it imo. I was paying 5 to 6 bucks for 224 cal vmaxes, and 7 or 8 for 87 gr vmaxes. That to me is worth it for a varmint bullet, and even the won't shoot/group bullets have shot really well. Midway has quite a few right now, the only ones I'm interested in are some that aren't normally available, namely 22 mag bullets I load in reduced 223 loads. But paying $25 for a box that's normally $30-35, you have to make the call on that one. FYI the good old days are over though, and Hdy now sells them all to a middle man. I recently got some 30-30 bullets where the cannelures were all over the place and some weren't even 30 cal bullets lol. So be careful. [/QUOTE]
