Henry Krank have moved all bar 1 Sierra bullet to unlicensed

Visited my local reloading RFD shop and just bought some Sierra .303 150gr soft point bullets so it's happened they have taken soft points out of section 5 and into sec1 happy days

I ordered 100 PPU .311" 150gr SPBT from Kranks yesterday, email this morning to say they've been dispatched

I only have one real reason for getting some, for my 7.35mm Carcano as Hornady make a 128gr SP bullet, although not really available here. I will have to get them from the US via a shop here and they are the only people that make a jacketed bullet and until now I have not been able to buy them being soley a target shooter. Next question would be where can I shoot them as Bisley as my nearest fullbore range and I'm not sure if they will allow them.

Should be ok at Bisley.

I have a missed delivery card from Royal Mail, it should be for 500 frangible bullets, so I'll see if they will let me have them tomorrow

The only reason I got the PPU 150gr SPBT .311" is that they are pretty much the only 150gr .311" bullet I could find and the BDC elevation turret on my PSO-1 scope is calibrated for a 150gr projectile and with a 1:320mm twist rate barrel (same as the early Dragunov, changed to 1:240mm on later versions) it prefers the lighter 150gr bullet over the 174gr/180gr bullets that are more common in .311" flavour.

Interesting

Does this mean we can get hollow point .22LR subsonic?

If so, that's good news because the range of subsonics in hollow point is a lot more than solids!
