I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you. It's a great deal though.

Midsouth Shooters Supply has their own brand called "Varmint Nightmare." They have 55 grain fmj for $80/1000 and some 55 grain soft points that run $157/2000. I shoot the soft points with 25.5 grains of BLC-2 with great results.

Best bulk 55gr bullet I have ever found, anywhere!

I got the 5k bulk pack from wideners, better price than midway.

He's probably asking where they are in stock. Everywhere is backordered because people are hoarding them all

How many boxes are in a case? I scrolled around but couldn't find a number. 3 boxes of 1,000 per case?

There's a column that reads "Case Count", that tells you how many are in a case.

For .223, there are 3500 per case.

Was mostly just wanting to know where to look. MIdway has outrageous shipping so I tend to not look at them....and yes many are out of stock....sigh

Montana gold 223 55gn FMJBT are still in stock. I got my case today.

Midway has them in stock now. Their price is average, but why quibble when you want something specific and you don't want to wait too long.

BTW, I have tried Montana Gold 55gr, Golden West 55gr, Winchester bulk 55gr and Remington bulk 55gr and in order the best downrange results across several different AR's is as follows

Hornady 55gr FMBT = MOA or better all the time.

Golden West 55gr FMJBT = Just about the same, maybe a little tiny bit over MOA, never tried to refine it, just went back to Hornady when they became available again

Montana Gold = 1.5 MOA or less, never true MOA for me, but definitely a decent bullet for the price.

Remington & WW bulk = 1.5-2 MOA at best, tried a lot, never got them to shoot MOA, not worth the slightly cheaper price point

I always go back to the Hornady bulk 55gr. They print just under .75 MOA in one of my AR's and at or just under MOA in the other two. Everyone I know who has tried them on my advice has stayed with them.
