edr Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 John Bradshaws' at Fotheringhay near Northampton; Probably 1 1/2 hours from staffordshire area. He has a wide range but I would ring to check what he's got in stock. ATB EDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_in_the_midlands Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) I have tried the Countryman of Derby. Unfortunately Northampton is a very long way to travel to get some bullets. I have been very impressed with this ammunition, and am surprised they are not stocked more.

Vince Green Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Why specifically do you want Norma when other brands are at least do-able and maybe just as good? Certainly cheaper which is why you are finding it hard to locate. Probably the only places to stock Norma these days will be in the Highlands and then only for deer calibres where the shooters are much more traditional about these things. Norma was always seen as "the best" but not many .223 owners are going to be that fussy given the prices Edited June 26, 2011 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_in_the_midlands Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have tried a few different brands, and the rifle liked Norma. They group better than the hornady. I phoned the importers/distributers today and the closest dealer is 50 miles away. I think I need to try some other makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This having to buy ammo face to face is becoming a real problem for a lot of people these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
