reject bullets

I got another email asking about the reject bullets I post about here. I told him to look here for the reply.
This game ain't cheap and cheap bullets help stretch the shooting dollars. I get them from both Hornady and Sierra. I have sent thousands down range and really have nothing but great results with them all. For offhand practice they can not be beat. The main issue with buying them is you must go to the factory stores, they will not ship. Hornady is located close to I-80 and gets hit both ways with shopping traffic. Best to call ahead to check what may be in stock. Their inventory is low compared to Sierra.
The Sierra store is packed with 30 gallon steel drums with varying amounts of all they make. You buy them by the pound. Hornadys are boxed by the 100 count and are a little cheaper than Sierra. The formula that Sierra uses for pound price works out to about one half off of retail pricing per 100. Bullet quantities vary by weight, see the list. You can download the reject price list off their website. We hit them every year on the way to the best ever HP regional in the country. Or, we hook up with a buddy passing through the area and treat him nice.
Below are all I could find that I would call rejects from a box of 500 Sierra 140gr. pro hunter bullets. Some have worms on the tip, slightly deformed points, white oxide on the tips, water spots, even hollow jackets with no core. The vast majority just have a darker color and other wise look normal.
Trust me, they shoot fantastic.
