my last order of 6.5mm was about $70 for a 100 including postage. you will need to convert from rand into nz dollar.

Have you used them on animals or did you get the last lot for targets?
And how did they perform?

Mostly paper with load development but i have neck shot pigs with them and it was instant kill and yes it was a nerve shot but it was was like the hammer of Thor. they are made from brass and have a semi wad cutter. the 6.5mm 90gr bullet left a 2" wound channel i was using 6.5x55 @ 50 yards i will work up to deer and update anyone that is interested as to the result bearing in mind they shoot Impala with these it shouldnt be a problem, i just want to be sure. they group very similar to the barnes bullet which suit my needs. i will be get some more 6.5 90's and some 6mm 55gr if you want to try first let me know.

I have 600 odd 95gn Targex to slowly shoot my way through before trying anything else
