KimE 487 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I just sent some .38spl downrange ~0.1£ each. If I had cast equipment I could load them for 0,01£ each almost forever. 1 Quote Link to post

Nice fun ammo and good for rabbits and squirrels. Quote Link to post

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hi Si , thanks mate , I’ve been on the case myself, and I contacted HPS and they can send me the 70 grain Sierra Blitzkings in . 243 and spud1967 has the 50 grain vmax . Should have them next week . I want to use my local guy as much as I can , but he doesn’t really carry varmint rounds as he is a target shooting business. But thanks for the offer 1 Quote Link to post

You'll be collecting old light bulbs to make it viable. (Quick note, just like lead it's toxic). Edited April 5, 2020 by Alsone Quote Link to post
KimE 487 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 "You'll be collecting old light bulbs to make it viable." Lead can be found in demolition of houses, scrapmetal dealers sell lead, old wheel weights are perfect for bullets, you can dig out lead at shooting ranges. "I miss my 357.

What rifle would be perfect for beaverhunting and other smallgame. 1 Quote Link to post
