Re: 7.62X39 HEAVY BULLET
I got 1k of the S&B bullets from Roding Armoury a couple of years back.
Kranks only charge £4 delivery for anything apparently.

Re: 7.62X39 HEAVY BULLET
Did the bullets arrive ok?
Re: 7.62X39 HEAVY BULLET
Sorry Paul yes they did and they are exactly what I was looking for if I can return the favour don't hesitate to ask.
I have bullet's in .308 155g 168g 6.5x55 120g 139g .303 170g.
Thanks very much I got so excited I just rushed of to the reloading room with them. I am going to hand craft this ammo and savour every bang they may be the only full metal jacket bullets I ever get for this rifle.
I was looking in Gun mart on Friday Kranks and York guns had them advertised for sale I rang them both neither of them had any in stock and they did not know exactly when they would have any. Why do they advertise them for sale if they don't have them.
After these have gone I am going to give it a good clean and develop a cast boolit load for it.

Hey rather than getting snotty about it, don't you think it might have served you better to ask where he was getting his and if he could point you in that direction.I must be lucky where I am then as I have never had any problems getting them, PRVI and Lapua, now I bet that makes you feel better !
Lucky you so am I supposed to be impressed.

Sounded like he was gloating over the fact that he could obtain them easily and I could not to me.Hey rather than getting snotty about it, don't you think it might have served you better to ask where he was getting his and if he could point you in that direction.

Any way not important I have a plentiful supply of cast boolits locally from a well known boolit caster.
By the way my original question was does any body have any info on using heavier bullets in my 7.62x39.
