william Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I live in Coventry and I am desperate for some Hornady 87 grn Vmax bullet heads in .243. The gun shop Rugby Norman Clarkes and Pete Starley of midway Uk have none at all. Does anyone know of a possible supply locally Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 If you get stuck it seems as though this guy will send them over and from general consensus it is legal as long as you have the right to posses on your ticket. A weird law where you can't post them within the UK but someone can post them from outside but a fair few people have checked it out. The plus point is even bearing in mind postage they are dirt cheap http://www.cliffsgunsmithing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Do you specifically want 87grn? I know where there are plenty of 75grn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Do I remember you griefing me out about this? Hands up on this one, though I seem to remember I only queried whether it was legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yes I am aware there are 75 grn around I have got used to the 87grn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedark Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 how does this work then? Do they go to your home or an rfd? How are they entered onto your ticket? Order by email, and ask him to print your certificate number on the address label so customs can call your licensing dept to verify they're on your ticket.

Redgum Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I use the 87 V max in 243 and they are a good bullet but there are other bullets that will do the job. Maybe order some through your local RFD and maybe try some other brands in 85grain. The 87g v max isnt worth that much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
