Great news ! New OZ bullets
Great news ! New OZ bullets
Hi all , Recent contacts show some real commitment from 2 Aussies in going into the tough market of Long Range Competition projectiles .. I whole heartedly wish both guys all the success in the world .. Nothing would make me happier to set a new record with an AUS bullet instead of the yank one i have been using for the last 9 years .. A similar copy to the 187 FB bullet i have been using for years allows me to test for this guy with some confidence and although a long difficult journey i hope he gets it right .. The other is a well designed 7mm that should change the way 7mm guys perform and will make quite a few that i know real happy .. With Tony / Eric and Jacks test beds ready and able to prove the worth of this new non VLD it's Good days to be alive and shooting LRBR for sure .. JR.. Jeff Rogers

Re: Great news ! New OZ bullets
There are 6.5mm's coming soon too Jeff- hopefully I get to test out some of those for him. They look like a great bullet and definitely would prefer to support aussie products.

Re: Great news ! New OZ bullets
I will be trialing a quantity of the 168 and 180g'rs in 7mm over the next few weekends.
Hoping for positive results! Would be great to take Aussie made bullets to the World Champs next year in USA

Re: Great news ! New OZ bullets
Mulga, cheers for that,
I already use the Dyer HBC in my Target rifle, very good accuracy out to 1000m +
Also they are made right here in Darwin, so I dont pay freight and get them cheaper.

I tried some 180's in my 7mm Shehane last week. One relay with 5thou jump had 9 out of 10 in the x ring at 500yds, conditions were steady.
