ALERT, CAUTION, HOLY SMOKES!!!
I replied earlier under the blemished bullets at midway sale post. Had purchased bullets from midway labeled .458 250 gr polymer tipped bullets. They looked almost like the 325ftx, same size almost the same radius on the base. Was gonna launch one downrange tonight into some wet magazines to see how the held together. Decided to weigh one because lead is lead and if it is the same length and diameter as a 325ftx it should weigh the same. Well, these are not 250 gr they are 325gr bullets. Midway somehow got these mislabeled. Just wanted to let everyone know asap, DID NOT WANT SOMEONE LOADING UP A HEAVY 250 GRAIN DUPLEX AND GETTING A RUDE AWAKENING. Next move is to get ahold of Midway and let them know.

OOps i replied on the other thread too soon.
I knew those had to be a miss print otherwise they were Monoflex blems that are not even for sale yet.

Yep, Called midway to report the mistake. Do not know how long it will take them to correct it though. Told the rep that i did not want to return them, just wanted to let them know about the mistake. Took a chance on them hoping they were the new gmx but am still happy with the 325 ftx. I love the 325 ftx with a BCR and 63 gr RL7.

Thats the load i use too with the 325gr or a little less N120. Considering the saving i prefer the Re7. I almost pulled the trigger too in hopes it was some MonoFlex blems. I actually get the 325gr cheaper anyway at the local gunshows, so im glad i didnt take the chance.

I got a hundred for my .50, I remember someone was questioning what that bullet was.Thanks for the heads up,I've been reading so much about the 325's it was time for me to pull the trigger on some myself pardon the pun.

Checked on Midway and they did change the weight in the description from 250 to 325.
