    HBC Optimus 155gr Projectiles Australia. Have they gone out of business?

    What has happened to HBC Optimus, previously Dyer projectiles?

    That's a shame, great projectiles at fantastic price. Are the 30 cal high volume F class guys using anything particular instead?

    Yeah they are great, I picked up a 1000 for $450 a few years back and last box is getting a bit low, those days will now be referred as the "good ole days"!
