Midway has (Hornady 3715?) .375 270 RN for M1910
#335600 - 18/12/19 12:04 AM

Midway USA is listing their 'factory seconds' on these again, though at a much higher price than before. At $1.17 per bullet in lots of 100, these aren't much less than the Woodleighs Midway lists at $1.26 per. Perhaps they'll drop the price before running out?

I've bought these previously from Midway and am 99% sure they're Hornady 3715: Midway

Interesting. The 270gr. RN has been out of production for some time now.

Somebody's making the projectiles for these:

I bought a few lots of the 'factory seconds' from Midway in Sept. of 2015, same 'Product#: 590071', only then they were $28.69 per 100, not the $116.99 they want now. They look, measure, and weigh identical to the old Hornady 3715:

Compare the listing: Midway 'Factory Seconds'

To this older listing of Hornady 3715: Midway Hornady 3715

I too found Midway has raised the price on their seconds to the point where they are not worth it.

I'm glad to have bought mine when I did - should've got more, perhaps.

The second picture, the one of just the bullet, is the 300gr. RN Interlock. I think Midway made a mistake there although it matters not, unless they are showing the actual bullet they are calling the 270gr.

The 270gr.RN as in the "older listing of Hornady 3715" link, is the 270gr. & is just every so slightly more pointy.

Indeed.

I have, however, loaded Hornady 3715 and still have a few on hand. I'm sure that most of us with M1910 Mannlicher Schoenauers are quite familiar with them.

The Midway 'factory seconds' I acquired in 2015 look, weigh, measure, and taper exactly like Hornady 3715.

Not saying the 3715 isn't the 'old' 270gr.
From the 1st picture, it appears green box loads are loading the 270gr. Hornady. That isn't the same bullet as your second picture. That's obvious.

Midway's write-up is interesting. It reads as if there are huge savings

MidwayUSA has just made a huge purchase of blemished bullets and we are passing the savings to our customers. Blemished bullets are bulk-packaged, factory seconds that didn't meet specification. For majority of the bullets being offered, this blemish is a slight discoloration in the jacket or the bullets were run during press set-up. Hurry, quantities are limited and at these prices they won't last long!

Midway

They've come down to $81.89 per hundred, eight boxes left.

Still a bit pricey at .82, but better than $1.17 each.

Remember when these were always available at $11.00 a box?
