Joe is closed at the moment and his site seems to only be a front end with none of the links working. Hope is all OK there.

AFAIK the last factory ammo which replcated the original loading was from RWS (maybe still available) and CIL as mentioned before above.

The 156 gn Lapua Mega is a good bullet, not quite round nose but with a protected, slightly recessed, soft point

I was tempted to start with the Lapua Naturalis however with Hornady doing a 160 grain round nose with a lead core as opposed to a monolithic it will be my starting point and only choice! Apparently there was a 160 grain Sierra round nose once upon a time however I cannot find a trace of it now.
