I stopped in at Sierra last tuesday and bought some of the blemished 240SMK they are still high but with sales tax a little under 39.5 cents each.

Still high but much cheaper than ordering them at retail.

I did also get some other stuff.

I had some hotter loads, but decided to stop at the above to keep the load below 1100fps.
How was your accuracy? I've got a subsonic load for 168 grain match king type bullets and they're keyholing a little at 100 yards. They're grouping about 2.5".

I was getting around 2-3" for the most part. I don't have a lot of rounds through my M1S upper. I'm hopping to shrink group sizes, but I have to wait to get more bullets, they currently on backorder and I am out.

Note to self: Check the usual sources every week to see if bullets are in stock and buy them. Same for primers and powder.

Backorders suck.

I've gotten tired of backordering from Midway. They push back every date that they give. I have been checking Wideners a couple times a week trying to get some bullets for my new 6.8. It's just a matter of being willing to wait I guess.
