Also Norma .270 130g for £17 per box and .243 Norma 75g vmax at £11 per box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duncan Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wrong calibre, wrong county, wrong licence. Close, but no cigar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sam, did you go up there or did you do RFD to RFD? I can't find any info on the 6.5 Hornady cartridges just the bullets, any idea how fast they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsportshooter Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Mate GOOD HEADS UP - Cant believe the price of those .243 and just what I was after to try on foxes (out of my scout). Shame its just to far away from me to justify the petrol over the £15 a box Geco I'm using. Either way - good post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Havn't a clue how fast they are but since buying them have shot 4 Sika and 2 Roe with them and perform well. Normally use Norma 120grain b/t but for the price I had to try these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks interesting But can't help but think it's too cheap! Do they carry decent stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Stocks were dwindling but they had what i asked for. Im not sure whats happening but presume with those discounts might be closing down or relocating perhaps??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
