Dougy Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 You get a nice load sorted then they stop production. Bloomin marvellous. And they replace them with something they say is loads better, and loads more expensive. **** law they don't shoot the same with same powder weight, seating depth etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Swede Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 You should try and hoard a bit of "heads" I belive you call them, like I have done, I have some 500+ of the 178 grain .30 cal version and un counted numbers of the 6,5 mm and 6 mm versions. I have found really no substitute for long range shots at rabbits with the 6XC, the 105 A-max works like magic every time. Still I find it saddening to see great bullets being replaced by something that I am not quite sure of, by the way, could I perhaps steer you towards the tipped SMK, from Sierra bullets, I have heard great things about them and they have always shot well for me. /Best regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to love the law makers for that own goal. They tried to outlaw expanding pistol bullets and clobbered rifle shooters who need soft point by law for deer.

Atb Correct but luckily for Dougy the Amax are not expanding so he can stock up if he can find some.

Yep a good bullet along with the 52gn version in .224, Charlie is very allergic to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have around 700 left I think, ok I'm not going to shoot them this year lol but once they've gone it means I need to go down the development road again. So bloomin annoying.
