I got that deal a while back from them. They were also offering a farther discount over a certain dollar amount, can't remember what it was and it doesn't matter because I was way over it. I stocked up on them. Good bullet that I haven't had trouble getting to shoot.

Yeah I used this bullet exclusively for whitetail hunting for many years with excellent on game performance and found them to be very accurate to boot....Hb

I went back and looked, I misspoke. This is a better deal than I got last yr by about a $1 a box. All in tax and everything I was at $24.11 per box.

You still got a great deal. 👍..Your deal and this price reminds me of the "good ol days" of reloading prices before president Barack. When you could buy 1000 CCI 200 primers for $29 (all you wanted) I wish I knew then what the price/availability of components would come too these days....Hb

You should, I've used them in .308 & .30-06, no complaints.

My 30-06 Encore pistol loves this bullet. 3 touching at 100 yards and dead deer from15 yards to 300 yards. Good price. Edk

I got 2K of them when I bought them, I'm a sucker for deals and try to take advantage of them. That 150 PH has been easy to get to shoot.

An easy load of 48 gr's of H4895 shoots close to 1/2" in a Sauer 30-06. 52 gr's of IMR 4064 shoots a bit tighter in that rifle but I'm getting low on that powder.

Same load in a peep sighted 7600 put 3 just under 3/4" and 4 shot group 1 1/8" at 100. Killed a deer with that rifle and load this yr. No load development with this rifle.......same load as the Sauer and just loaded book length.

Thanks for the heads up!

I ordered a few boxes to try in my Savage 99s in .300 Sav and Ruger M77 RL .308.

Minimum order of 3 boxes for free shipping.

150 grain 30 caliber bullets are under rated.

I think you'll like them. What I like for just a C&C bullet is how consistent they are from box to box on both overall length, and ogive. I know some older gents that used to calibrate their powder scales with Sierra bullets. I like them, just not at current pricing on most of them, but at this price it's hard to beat.

Thanks for the heads up. I really like the Pro Hunters. I also picked up 3 boxes for my .308. They should work great in my Steyr Mannlicher.
Have a great day.

Yes sir. Glad to see some taking advantage of this deal. Makes me feel good to see some people can still buy stuff occasionally today without breaking the bank. Thanks for putting it up. If I didn't have plenty of these and other 30 caliber bullets, I'd be buying some more myself.

I wouldn't buy a Sierra over a Speer HC when the Sierra's are priced normal, but when they're cheaper than Speer price, buy em. Nobody that buys them will regret it.

Nice shooting, I may see if I can snag a few boxes for my 308 and 300 Savage.
