Your wish list - bullets & brass

[JD4570]

OK guys, I'm gearing up for my first stocks of brass and bullets around the end of summer.

Here's where I need your help...

What calibres would you most like to see me stock, assuming I can get them at a good price?

Be grateful of your posts on here.

We mostly shoot:

155 Scenar .308
139 Scenar 6,5mm
180 Berger Hybrids .284
80 SMK;s .224
Something else in .224 - to be decided.

Plus Fed210M, CCI BR (SR) CCI BR (LR)

A mix of Lapua and Norma brass.

Thanks for these, ovenpaa.

I should have added, I am not going to be offering primers or powders at this stage.

One thing I'd really like (at a sensible price) is 200gr .429 plated bullets for my Henry .44, at 13Kg a 1000 I can't see me getting many on my next trip to the US.

Bold Action aren't getting any more of the Frontier, Peter Lawman has them but is as much use as a chocolate fire guard for sending orders (or replying to phone calls and emails), Tim Hannam now only stocks Ace at horrendous prices (end of rant!).

If you could import these or other FMJ .451 bullets that would be great. How about brass, in .45 Super or .460 Rowland (if my plan comes off)

Thanks for this, Phaedra. Loved the rant! And love your signature line too!

It's the very issues you've raised which have prompted me to start something up. I mailed ovenpaa about this a while back and he kindly posted up on Shooting SHED.

Thank you too, majordisorder. So noted

I'll be starting off with a modest stock of the usual suspects, but this gives me some very good ideas where to go once that's done.

Something else in .224 - to be decided.

Cast bullets for me! And no doubt for a lot of people shooting old lever guns! .25-20 in 60gn, .32 cal (314) for .32-20 and .32 mag. .32 cal (.321) for .32-40 and .32 Win Spl. And, .30 cal cast flat points for .30-30......

And brass. Brass for all of the above and for .38-40. Oh and .40-82. Well, you said it was a wish list!

And, how about some Alliant Black MX? as EB won't be bringing it in......!

[devil_bri]

cheap 357mag brass
cheap .357 bullets lead or jacketed (such as Ranier 1000 for $100 in the USA)

[saddler]

.223, 6.5, .30 & .303 - I'd be interested in good prices on Sierra Match Kings for the 4 calibres listed & .277 (sub-140gr, for the 6.8SPC)

Also other OTM styles in the calibres above

Possibly decent FMJ bullets too

Good quality .223, 6.5x55 & .30-06 brass

There IS a growing market for the CBC Magtech shotgun brass too - either to use as it comes or as a base for sizing into obscure old rifle ammo
