I just ordered 1000 m855 machine pulled and resized bullets from hitech. Anybody have any experience with these?
I also ordered 1000 air pulled 855 bullets. The machine pulled bullets are a little cheaper so if they are just as good I'll just buy them from now on. |
| I had a bunch one time that looked kind of like crap but shot OK. I usually shoot this round at 50 yards with an aimpoint. I usually shoot 50 shots in about 1 -1.5 inch from the bench. The pulled bullets shot pretty much the same as new ss109 bullets. I was surprised and happy with them. The farthest I shot them was 50 yards so I can't comment on any longer ranges. They may suck at longer ranges but I can't tell you. The ones I had, had deep pull marks on them and were not resized. Still had the green paint on them. |

Depends upon how much they're damaged by the process. I use to buy 55grn M-193 pulled bullets for $19/K that you couldn't tell from new. I thought they were a good deal at the time and I've still got over 16K of them. They shoot with the same or better accuracy as M-193 ammo (depending if I reload them carefully). However, over the last few years, all I've seen is crap that looks like they pulled them with a set of vice-lock pliers; all scratched and bent out of round and selling for way more than they're worth. |

Just don't expect them to group like match bullets. Save some money, don't worry about the pull marks. |

The price is pretty tempting. My question is: where in hell do they find that many bullets to pull??????? |

Quoted:
When a manufacturing lot of ammunition is rejected by QC, they don't just throw that stuff in the trash. While I don't know the procedures they use at Lake City, those rejected lots are [i[probably[/i] sold off as scrap to specifically qualified firms. Some of those firms just grind the stuff up, but others pull the bullets and sell off the primed cases.
