As the title I am looking for 214 or 215 gr .311 bullets or even boolits to test in my latest aquisition
I now have a Citadel .303 Martini Enfield carbine which I shot last weekend with some standard .303 ammunition and it is shooting waaaay high (sights set at 200 shooting at 300 still about 4 feet high), my theory is this, the rifle was designed and the sights would have been calibrated for Mk V1 ammunition which uses a heavier slower roundnosed bullet.
So am I barking up the right tree, and who has them (not soft or hollowpoint)
214gr .311 Bullets

I could supply .314 or .315 205gr boolits. Alternatively .311 195gr boolits. Any good to you?

DynamitePrince,
If you fancy the bullets from Roger, give me a call as I'm going to have a couple of hundred .223's from him, we could stick in a single order, one payment and one parcel for Rog...... could be easier all round? :cheers:

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
