As title says, looking to buy these bullets. Let me know what you have. Thanks
 
I thought the only 143gr were the eldx but I am not certain on that. Has anyone ever used the blems before. Just starting to reload and have no experience with them

I bought a box of 500 of these. After measuring with a comparator they grouped in to two groups. Weight varied maybe 142.6 to 143.4

I have shot some of the 6mm 108 eld blems, had 2 with snapped off tips, tips were gone (not in the box) the rest were Good to go, i did check dia only not weight though, shot with the non blems out to 300. bought 1000 more of them.
 
Here’s a few pictures of the factory seconds I got. Haven’t had a chance to load any yet. But my rifle loves the bullet doesn’t matter the powder or charge.

The Midway 143 blems are Hornady ELD-x projectiles. There are a few in the box missing the tips but for the most part they shoot like a laser in my 6.5x47. Good as first run.
 
I have used these in the past. The last batch that I got, the tips where very very hard and would brake off when loading the gun. I have had great success. Now I was having a lot of problem.
 
Just a thought, I was in my local gun shop last week and he had, if I remember correctly, about 6 boxes 140gr amax .264. Anyone be interested in trading eldx for those if he still had them?
