MrDaveO84 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Does anyone know where I can get some of these in 6.5? I've been looking for ages but can't find any one stocking them. I've read about getting them posted from abroad but is this legal? If it is can anyone recommend a good shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Don't think its possible to post section 5, which the bullets you're after are. What are you shooting with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveO84 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I know you can't post them in this country as they're expanding so have to rfd to rfd but I've read that they can be posted from abroad. Sitting out for wild boar hence the size Edited July 9, 2015 by MrDaveO84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Bullets of hollow point/soft point design CAN be posted direct to your home address from abroad... ONLY LEGAL IF you have correct authority to possess such things. Similar to the the rule that a new airgun in the UK has to be sent to an RFD if new: but you can buy new from abro and have them posted to the house direct.

Dougy Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Have you tried others or is it a matter of load sorted and accurate. I know it's difficult getting certain bullets, I managed to get enough of my chosen bullets to see my barrels life out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried others but have a friend who recommended them for wild boar so want to work up a load myself. If you can get factory rounds they're around 65 a box!!

If you can get factory rounds they're around 65 a box!! £65 CRIKEY !!! I have only used SST on boar in 30 cal Found them very good, j would certainly recommend tbem in 6.5 cal but it's seems doubtful you would get any, if you could, then try them too.

MrDaveO84 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 That's not including the fuel for a 180 mile round trip to get them Doug!! It seems the 6.5 isn't that popular around my parts. That's why I want to get into reloading so I can have the bullets and make rounds up as and when I need them I'll have a look at the sst and see if I can get them any easier thanks for the advice guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
