    Thanks dogmatix.
    When you say custom barrel, is the usual 1-10 not fast enough?
    Wonder about the 150's then.

    Apparently some shooters in the USA and Canada are using custom 1 in 9" twist .277 barrels for the 165gn VLDs.
    Lord knows if you could get one here though.

    The 150gn Matrix I'd imagine to be fine in a standard barrel, but in terms of BC and availability, nothing wrong the 150gn Bergers and SSTs (which I use).

    .224 80gn SMK, .277 130gn SGK, .277 150gn SST, .277 165gn Matrix VLD hunting



    Seated to touch.

    Prob is they are not on the State Dept 'approved' export list and thus 'technically' illegal to export from the US.
    It also opens you up at this end to 'importing an item thats been illegally exported'

    Too much hassle? - damn straight!
