Yeah, I'm hoping for 2950+ fps or more.

Got the package today and it was EMPTY! Someone stole my bullets! I filed a open package complaint with USPS and now have to wait for their investigation.
I am one pissed off person today!

Some azzhole that works at my local USPS must be closely related to Pele! I’ve had three boxes busted open lately, one in particular lost 4 boxes of 300 grain .338 Berger’s, 2 boxes of 260 Accubonds and a bag of 375 H&H brass. I feel your pain can’t explain how pissed off I was. Grafs had the package insured for full replacement but the bullets were out of stock and I don’t plan on them being around for some time. 🤬

I wonder how these "employees" know what is in the box to want to steal them?

Thanks Ed, turns out I use a 270 grain SAF in my .375 RUM and since I didn't draw an elk tag here in NM, I will just wait till next year.

All they have to do is read where the package is from to deduce it's gun related. I've had a package from Sportsman's Guide opened and the loose AR500 targets were just laying on top of the box when the UPS man delivered it. My wife had ONE curtain out of a set taken. Who does that? Somebody is the answer. Sad.

I an not sure why USPS even tries to deliver an open empty package and makes the receiver file the complaint. I once had an empty box delivered to me with a hand written note in pen on the box "box empty, contents lost". The contents were lost long before it got me. The post person said I had to go to the post office and file a complaint. I said, "no way" and called the company who took care of it.
