Typically very small blemishes get these rejected. They shoot great.

Who makes these?

Wild ass guess. Hornady interlocks. Midway typically has hornady blems. Interlocks are flat based and lead flat tipped from what I can tell.

Only hesitation I have is the bonded. If they mean mechanically bonded with the cannelure? Like I said. Just guessing here.

They are speer gold dots. They have 156gr fmj too.

Good call!! I always overlook Speer and forgot they have a 140. Most what I have seen from midway blems is hornady so my mind jumped to them.

Just picked up 500. Have to fire form some brass and need cheap 6.5 bullets for that. Thanks

I read some of the info on LRH as well. Thanks for the pressure heads up. Sounds like they are sold out now. Guys have been getting them to shoot pretty well it sounds like.

My 7mm's arrived today. Can't speak for the 6.5's because I didn't order any, but mine are definitely Speer Deep Curl, a.k.a. "Gold Dot's." They have a cannelure. Previous 6.5 Gold Dots (120's) I've used in my Grendel were very accurate. I don't know why these wouldn't be as well.

If I can get them shooting well at 2800 fps.+ out of the .284 Win I'm building, I'll be a happy camper.

These were loose packed in a cloud of graphite powder. I soaked and rinsed in some simple green and then threw them in a dry tumbler.
