Midway 6.5 ELD-M Blems

[Squaregrouper]

I placed an order on Sunday and received them today. Reviews, pictures and Q&A had me convinced they're 140gr ELD-M. Once I opened the packages and compared them to my existing bullets, I am >99% sure they are, in fact 140gr ELD-M for $21.49/100.
This past Sunday it was free shipping on orders over $75, but that offer doesn't seem to still be valid.

They appear to be fine to me. Are you seeing any defects? Have you weighed them?

Other than a slightly darker color, they're identical to my existing 140gr ELD-M bullets.

They look great to me. I shoot a lot of blems from midway. 195 ELD, 200 ELD, 220 HPBT (definitely SMK), 300gr HPBT (also definitely SMK). The only think that I've found after weighing them and checking dimensions with calipers is that once in a while the plastic tips will be missing (maybe 1 in 400), or the tips of the SMKs aren't perfect. Otherwise they are great for plinking.
