deadeye ive Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Apparantly these are harder to aquire than Rocking horse poo .If thats the case I'm going to be stuffed for Bisely .All my reloading gear is in storage in a shed whilst the new garage is built .Only have 20 rounds left Any where in the midlands stocking any and does the armoury at bisely still supply full metal jackets in this brand .I seem to re call they did'nt do them in Hp's . Failing that i'll just have to be in the butts all day Make sure the walkie talkies are all charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 You can still get them Ive I bought 100 or so just before my FAC went in. The 'armoury' at Bisley nearly always has 55 grn FMJ's, and if you ask him nicley he may well be able to get 50 grn HP's - they are a target rounds after all. If you stuck let me know and I will see if I can get some more locally for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway one of my shooting buddies can't get his hands on any at all around here so let me know Stuart if this stuff will be available Failing that I could always anchor my reloading press to the Kitchen worktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Federal landed an multi billion unit deal (can't remember the numbers) to help 'the war on terror' 'tis true, but that was some time ago, and as far as I can tell they are/were available again.

Dunkield Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Failing that we could grab some .22's and we go down to Melville - maybe Coporal Jones will be on duty and that in itself would be a damn good laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that in WW2 it was 200 rounds for a dead enemy. Methinks not, In World War II, the United States and its allies expended 25,000 rounds of ammunition to kill a single enemy soldier. In the Korean War, the ammunition expenditure had increased four-fold to 100,000 rounds per soldier; in the Vietnam War, that figure had doubled to 200,000 rounds of ammunition for the death of a single enemy soldier.
