they had winchester ballistic tips and a silver tip bullet also both in 140gr. check them out, if ya'll needin some. I'm sure if you paid over phone they would ship. nice folks.

called Hunters Hollow just a few minutes ago and they had : fusion 120gr $29.99; winchester 140gr power point $39.99, federal premium nosler ballistic $42.99, fusion 140gr. $29.99, federal 150gr softpoint $29.99

also said they could special order some other type ammo if need be
Just out of curiosity, would yall be willing pay 40.00 a box (plus shipping) for a hand loaded 120 grain bullet?
Is it legal to sell ammo without a license? I think you can give away the ammo with the purchase of some Trident though...

I'm fairly new to reloading and was not sure of the law on this one. Just curious...

I'll have to look into that.. I was just about ready to load some for myself, thought I would see if anyone else needed any also..

When I looked a couple of years ago they were the "best" on the charts, beat the socks off everything else.
Hornady no longer makes a "light" mag. They have been out of production for nearly 3 years now. It has been replaced with what they call Superformance. These are execellent bullets in all calibers. The new GMX bullet by Hornaday is very impressive on destruction. Plus it is a "lead free" bullet. I looked high and low for 7mm08 ammo today. Even talked to my Remington rep. None to be had except for some winchester ballistic silvertips in 140 grain. Lot's of ammo is geting very hard to find. If it's not on the shelf already don't put much faith into someone ordering it for you.

Yeah that GMX looks like a Barnes with less fouling.. Midway USA has some 7mm-08 in 139
