phaedra1106 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Do you mean bullets or loaded ammunition?, if it's loaded ammunition then no idea as I load my own, much cheaper and I can load up or down depending on what I'm shooting at!. Kranks sell the round nose flat point GM bullets which are quite good in 200 or 240gr. I also shoot truncated cone plated bullets, these are not a true copper jacket but a copper wash (very thin) over the lead bullet. I'd look at reloading your own, I can make some very accurate target loads for around £15/100, compared to Kranks that's less then a third of the price of factory.

will_gleave Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Im after loaded ammo as i don't load my own. I can't use jacketed ammo at the club I'm at and don't load any ammo for any of my rifles only ever used bought in loaded ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Magtec Cowboy have lead boolits at the business end, maybe you could ask your RFD to order some in.http://www.westernshootingsupplies.com/page5.htm You really need to start reloading, then you can make your pistol calibre stuff from 10 - 15 quid a hundred and have customised ammo. Depending on how many you shoot, you could get going for as little as £45. Here is my cheap Lee setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I should certainly be reloading under the circumstances, maybe casting my own bullets as well. Fancied casting .224 bullets for the hornet for a super cheap .22 WMR lower powered round for practice and intentionally setting out after just bunnies and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancied casting .224 bullets for the hornet for a super cheap .22 WMR lower powered round for practice and intentionally setting out after just bunnies and such Kent, I use to get 45grn semi spitze full patched bullets made by S&B for just that job. They were about £6 for 100 and I would fill the case with BL-C2. I use to harvest lots of rabbit and it was way better on a rough windy night than the 22 and cheap. Im on the manchester cheshire boarder. Give Steve Jones a call of Trent Firearms, Stoke on Trent. He does stock some Mag tech ammo! 01782 302937. U.
