5 cent .224 projectiles

[bocefus78]

I can't report on the quality, but at a nickel a piece, I had to order some. Figured I'd throw out a heads up in case anyone needs plinking projectiles. These will be shelved for me, so don't expect a range report anytime soon from me unfortunately. Same place also has 1000 count for 6 cents each. Shipping on 4k was $20.

I ordered some as well. We'll see how they work. I'll be working up some plinking loads with them.

They're .001 too big. They will blow your gun up!

Any idea if these bullets will attract a magnet?

 

[Vamptepes]

They're lead core. And they shoot just fine for plinking.

You have to be kidding! I can't find a .224 barrel. Must be a custom bolt gun.

I think he's more concerned about the increased wear from "bi-metal" jackets. That said, I clicked on the link and it says that the jackets are copper. I also zoomed in on the picture and it says copper jacketed on the box. I hope everyone is being truthful, because, personally, I choose NOT to run anything with a bi-metal jacket in my guns.

IKR.

And I can't find ANY bullets for my .225 Winchester, these are too small.

Someone over on ar15.com said they don't attract a magnet.

Just ordered some, I am sure the day will come I will wish I had ordered more.

Thanks for the tip, I am all out of repps or I would send one your way.

That looks like a good deal. Wish I had someone that wanted to go halves, though. I have some funds allocated for another purchase, currently. Hate to dip into it.

 

[ryknoll3]

Just got my shipping notification for these, so should have them this week.

 

[bocefus78]

Got my email as well. Fast processing for a weekend order.

Edit: Delivered already (but not unboxed). Ordered on 1-15 at 8:10pm and on my doorstep 1-19 at 10:40am. Fast shipping from fed ex!

Any plans to work up some loads with these in the near future? If so, report back!
