Thread: Guaging intrest, new source of projectiles

Hi guys

Just checking in here what the group thinks of the idea of me importing projectiles.

These are flat base hunting projectiles (simmilar to sierra pro hunter etc) cup and core bullets.

Im waiting on rates etc, but they are from a smaller non main stream manufacturer who will make them for me.

Currently available all the main cals in all sorts of weights
223
243/6mm
6.5mm
270
7mm
308
312

Retail from me would be sub $100 per 100 at least and less for smaller cals.

Im awaiting shipping costs too as last time i tried this with monos the shipping killed it.

Ill post some pictures etc on here once they send it to me.


Would people be more interisted in 100x packs or larger qtys?
Thinking to get 10K of each cal in a light and a heavy weight for a start and see how we go.

The design that i can currently get is a flat base open tip or a flat base hollow point, they have a decent jacket intended for hunting so are not a varmint bullet. Ive ordered 500x for my 308 to test out.

Was going to suggest maybe spread some around for testing as you wouldn't want to get stuck with a shitload you can't sell if they get a bad rep

Tell me more about the 7mm projectile weights. Be more than happy to grab a hundred or 2

So these will be plain cup and core, ie no "bonding" or internal cannelure?

Just plain cup and core, apparently they have a thicker jacket than basic cup and core bullets

145,160,175gr

One of the guys testing it was shooting animals with his 308 to 400m and got good expansion still

130,150,175gr in .312 no 8mm unfortunately

When im in front of the PC ill make a spreadsheet with all yhe weights

Where will they be imported from ? I ask for a couple of reasons, firstly I am interested to know whose economy I would possibly be supporting and also it may give an indication as to the quality.

Im comfortable that the quality matches, if not exceed what you get from other mass producers of projectiles. But we will see what happens when we have them tested.

Anyone that you guys recommend on the forum i give some to test? I dont just want to give to random people but rather people who will do it justice.
