They got more in just this past weekend I shot some of these out of my Henry All Weather with 2200 41.2 grains it was running around 1450 FPS which is slower than what the Hornady site spec'd. Could be a shorter barrel or that I did not seat them as deeply as what Hornady had listed.
I only got 200 of these in the summer when Midway ran out now they restocked and a little cheaper as well so grabbed another 400 so that should do it for this bullet as that will give me enough I feel for rest of my shooting days since I also have 300 and 350 grain bullets as well.

Now here is a mystery
What the hell is that? Is it a Nosler Ballistic tip with just a bad Midway picture? I never heard of a round nose 300 grain bullet except for the ballistic tips. I know Nosler made ballistic silvertips which are black and grey tip and the even rarer ballistic tip which was copper encased with a white tip which I have some of those that I had bought almost 10 years ago and never seen them again. In the description it says polymer tip may have different colors and the picture is generic so I'm guessing they are Nosler bullets. I have tons of them so no need for more but if that was like the Hornady 350 round nose but 300 grain that would be something special as never saw that type in that weight before.
