Saddler,
How many of these do you have? How many can I have? Do you have complete rounds?
Edit: bo...cks!!! I thought this was the For Sale section.....
Yeah I've been looking for these as well, quite collectible, not that was going to stop me popping most of them off.
Should you have a complete round, has to have the correct headstamps etc, I would like to buy one for a Sect 5 ammo collecting friend.
2nd Edit:
SimG will be along soon to ask for price options... :55:
I take it that means their all for you :lol: Next time I see you at Blair I'll show you an alternative... maybe! :lol:

Have several severals - close to
legion in numbers really...
ONLY the bullet - no Swede issue brass
(yet) - that is in the pipeline of things to come = and sadly no live tracer ammo
I can buy live rounds in whatever qty I want when in Sweden - but RyanAir don't allow carriage of any ammo on their flights!
How many bullets do you need/want?

Now you've really got my attention!!!

I suppose a lot comes down to price (to be blunt about it) and depending on that I would take as many as I could afford, I'll even take Simsg's share if the price is right.:lol:
If they cost the earth then a handful to try them out would fun, useful for a comparison anyway. Intrigued that you've found a decent amount, otherwise on acquiring them :goodjob: .
A full cartridge at a later date would be nice or brass to match to heads, I'll talk to my friend about it.
What you thinking price wise and quantities? I'm looking to do some loading of them before the end of the month.

Why does we get excited by this ?
Our last encounter with these was firing off Charle G rounds back in the 90s when it was deemed cheaper to dispose of them into Cardigan Bay rather than send them back to BAE (nee ROF) to be disposed of in an environmentally and very costly way...

I'm not greedy Mike, if Saddler wants to share then well and good. :cheers: No need to sell the kids (unless their p*ss*ng you off).
I see in a previous post you mention shooting at Warcop, were you there on the first of this month? Im intending to be there on the 29th and it would be nice to have some to shoot them off then. If your intending to be there and if your not in a hurry it would be no problem to brings yours down.
