Does anyone still make or sell these in the UK...??
My club is running a precision LBR league this summer and so i was thinking about accurate ammo... which reminded me of the ammo I used to make for my S&W 686.... a Bingley 148gn HBWC over 3.0 gns of Bullseye... (I used an extra 0.2 gns over the normal 2.8gns as I always used .357 cases.)
I'm guessing Bingley Bullets went the way of many things over the years, but is anyone else making something similar..??
I suppose there always a chance these won't work in a 12 inch barrel, but it would be fun to try...
TIA

If you cast, MP moulds make wonderful brass 4 cavity HBWC moulds.
I had one for 44 but they were awful out my 44 Marlin so I sold it on. Wrong twist rate.
A mate at my club bought all the gear for swaging them then gave up.
There is a guy on the GR circuit making a selling them.
Have a look on the GR rifle forum.

Ahh - Bingley bullets, great quality. I used them in my S&W Mod 14 K38 Masterpiece in the 1980's.
Hornady produce a 148gn swaged HBWC.
