    Cheap bulk bullets in 22 but lightweight?

    Trying here since CB probably has the most 22 hornet shooters around. I need a bullet for 5.7x28 and I missed the nosler ‘dogtown’ bullets at 34gr (perfect!!).

    All the cheap bullets are 55 gr which is too heavy.

    Speer makes a good 33gr bullet but it is 17 cents each. Crazy!

    Any bulk cheap bullet out there? 9-10 cents a pop when buying >1000? Really sad I missed the 5000 qty bullet from SPS when I had the chance.

    Midsouth Shooters also has a 34gr FBHP bulk bullet, though out of stock at the time.
    I cant say I had good results with it in the hornet, but neither of my hornets seem to shoot any of the sub 45gr bullets worth a hoot... And those hornady plastic tipped ones are usually even worse..ymmv

    Seems like you didnt find much available with this.....
    If it would help you out,, I could dig out whatever I have remaining of the 34gr midsouth ones I tried and weigh them up to get an estimated count for trade or sale. Message me if your needing and interested..
    Cheers, yv

    If push comes to shortage shove ... and you decide to cast your own ...I noticed NOE had 22 cal boolit designs in the following weights : 25 gr. , 30 gr. , 30 gr. , 35 gr. , 38 gr. , 46 gr. and up into the 50 and 60 gr. weights . Maybe a gas check and cast boolit could feed the little 5.7 X 28 beast ?
    At least you would have something to load and shoot ! www.noebulletmoulds.com
