Yup, we've been discussing them in the .338 Federal thread...I ordered 500 a week or so ago when they were over $27/box, and now they are down to $24. The 225's are also on sale, but not quite as cheap (I think they were around $32/box).

Midway must have a bunch. It's good to see availability in this age of "not available"....
They must have bought a bunch from Federal, it was said to be from Federal's discontinued .338 Fed 185 gr factory load.
Why they would discontinue that one is a mystery, as that's a good bullet in a good round.
Oh well, cheap shooting for us.

I'm pretty sure the Speers are all 50ct boxes...these are 100ct bulk packaged boxes of bullets.

Started at 73.5, and stopped at 75 which is Nosler's max load for 180 grain. I am hoping to get 3200 fps or more.

May be a bit too interesting. DF

Just FYI, for 338 Fed Woodleigh makes a 180gr just for 338 Fed and 338-06. It listed velocity is up to 2900FPS (it's not a "one bullet do all" like most other bullet manufactures"), BC is about the same as Nosler 180gr AB and they are $30 less a box than Nolser's AB and are available at Midway. They are every bit as good as ABs and proven on Africa game.
