The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Have you ever bought a box of bullets only to find that they don't shoot worth a sh!t in your rifle and your left with say 50 rounds gathering dust on the shelf? I was on another forum earlier this evening and I came across a link to a web site that sells bullets on a try as you buy basis. So if you want say, ten of a certain brand bullets for a particular caliber, you can. Prices are fairly reasonable as well.

Now I realize this isn't much use to you folks in the UK, but hey it might be an idea for those on the forum who sell reloading gear. Well that's if someone hasn't thought of it already and is already doing this. Here's the link to the website. http://www.bulletsamples.com/Home_Page.html

Very good idea. The exchange section on the forum has helped some people (including myself) in a similar manner.

It would be good though if someone in the UK was to come up with a similar thing. Save a bit of money in the long run if one can't swap or get rid of bullets that don't shoot well.

How did they work out, Grant?

It's not the bullets to blame in your case; the nut behind the butt has some screws that aren't tightened fully

I can swap some of your unwanted bullets for a couple of cases of blanks...it's about time ya finally got some ammo tailored to your style of shooting!

I may have a lead on that elusive carbine you've been chasing too. Send me a PM titled "Johnny7 for winners" for details

I haven't tried the cast bullets, but the Rossi seemed to like the rest of them - not much to choose between them. The next step is to try and narrow it down - I just know the IMI bullets will be the best! :cool2:

I still have a box of 50 Kynoch 303 rounds which i dont rate.They cost much more than PPU to a point i want to frame them.

I used to shoot the Kynoch and it was down to Stephen V that they released the 'Match' version with the 174 SMK's. I have not shot the match version however the normal version were nothing special in my rifle.

What was down to Stephen V?

I have a few very old 20-rd boxes & 303 fired cases of Kynoch Match Ammo - cases marked as SL (Stream Line bullet) & lower portion of case is blackened
