When I bought my last batch of the 123 HPBT they said then that when they were gone that that was going to be it. I then saw them come back into stock so can't tell whether they are going to be gone or not. I just ordered some more.

jasper2408 Wrote:If I had to I could switch to their Monster bullets which is supposed to be Nosler and I did get pretty good results with the Nosler 123gr CC HPBT(both the factory box and blems) and the Hornady 123gr ELD-M. I have only shot them in my AR though so I was not able to play around with seating depth too much.

You have peaked my interest now so I am going to contact Midsouth Monday and see what they say.

Happy2Shoot Wrote:Try measuring another brand bullet. When I measure the MSSS MM bullets they are dead on 0.2640".

As far as the Hornady, I doubt will stop making them. Aren't the 123gr HPBT the same bullet in their Gunner / Frontier line ammo?

You might be surprised how much calipers can be off.

mel Wrote:I have good starretts I just don't use them for my reloading stuff but I did measure the Ms mm bullets and came up with the same with them ,I've been sitting on this box close to a year now so maybe just that run . I also did compare to my nosler rdf eld etc etc bullets and those did come up correct.

I was blowing primers and seeing big pressure signs with the Ms mm bullets in multiple guns at low to mid range loads

Quote:This is a contracted bullet just for Midsouth. So as long as they keep ordering these bullets we will keep producing it.
