Has anyone else noticed a marked downturn in availability from Midway and their Factory Second and/or blemished offerings this year? Last year, hardly a week went by with not seeing some great deal in them for our caliber. My guess is that Midway is growing tired of losing more lucrative sales of their normal bullets due to folks flocking to their blemished or factory second bullets.
I noticed this, too. I think it was earlier this year that they had a huge assortment of seconds come in at the same time. I haven't seen much since then. I also noticed that with the last shipment, their prices were all over the place. Most right around what the first runs were going for. Actually saw a few bullets where the seconds were more expensive than first runs. I have the same feeling you do, in that they are losing sales, or not making enough profit on the seconds.
