    I ordered 500 62gr. for $45 to see how they are. I'll post on quality when I check them with caliper and scale.

    From what i can see the projectiles look perfect. no irregularities or imperfections. so they aren't "seconds". i'll cook some up tonight and test them tomorrow.

    I recommend getting on RMRs email list. they do 24 hour sales like this often, and they always have free shipping.

    Bullets arrived in a priority mailer box taped extra well. Opened it up and found them in a thick, sealed plastic bag. They look shiny, new, without noticable flaws and got all 500. For me, it will be a while until they go down range so others will have a more timely range report.

    At the bench got this info.

    Raw data. Table pastes a bit off but you can figure it out.
