    I wonder if we aren't better off leaving Bryn to manufacture the precision bullets, and rather have a local manufacturer for bulk soft point bullets for hunting so 1 supplier isn't trying to juggle different types of bullets
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    eople like myself who have hunted with Bryns bullets will agree that they work great for hunting with the advantage of a small hollow point for a better BC than the easily deformed soft point bullets.

    You'll be pleased to know that Bryn has invested! 6.5 jackets are on the way but waiting for dies to be made then you will have your wishes for 130-140 odd grain 6.5's.
    May make a 120gr too but will wait & see.

    Excellent
    I will be very keen to give them a go,the 6mm worked well on deer.
    130-140 will no doubt be very popular as would something 155 ish for us prc people.

    @TARGEX Hey Bryn, could just email but others may have the same interest: what are the chances of you making a 155gn (or 150) in .30 cal?

    would be keen to try some of these - would be great if they fell in around the 143 - 147 weight range to compare with Hornady stuff

    Be a little while yet though I'm sorry.
    Have to get the dies made that are on order which could be a few weeks or a few months. Who knows right now???
    Then I will have to make them & fiddle with weights & test shooting as I won't be letting any go out of here till I know I have them right.
    I'm only interested in turning out the best bullets I can make as that is where I get the pleasure from.
    Thanks for all the interest & nice comments.
    Will do my best to get them available as soon as I can but to the standard they have to be.
    Cheers
