Hinterland Shooting Supplies should be able to help out with a group buy up.

I have a load for 140 SST's, 120 CL's but the Taipan 120 Hp's are the most accurate of course I only have 7 left. If you want I have 55 120 CL's left but they are not the best in my Tikka. If you have some taipans to trade or that you don't want let me know.

I would be interested in some 7mm 120gr maybe 140s - only a hundred or so
Also some . 223 50-60gr hollowpoint - up to probably 500

Or if anyone has asome left over from the last buy that I could try out would be good

Cheers
James

just checked his site, no 7mm as of the last time he updated, does have the 50 and 60 224. I am in Bathurst but can probably get a mate to pick them up if I ask nicely.

I'd be interested in 500 50/.224 HP if that helps.

yep it will all help, problem is if he actually has them in stock, his website is a little confusing. I'll put you down for 5 packs of .224 50 hp.

Hmmm I would be interested in a 100 50gn HPs in .224 if that helps. Have always wanted to try them.

so at the moment we are looking at about 900 50's / 200 60's in 224 and a couple of pac's of 120 6.5's for me. That as a rough guide gets us over the min dollar value by a ways.

Just remember mate that is dated Dec 12, so.... is it or isn't it. will have to send him an email and find out when we get some firm numbers. will probably leave this thread up till the end of the weekend and see what numbers we get, but if no more we are over the minimum order value.

Have wanted to try his stuff before.

Could prob go some 120s maybe 200 have you tried the 76s they would be evil out of the swede.

Has anyone tried the 6.5 140s be interested to know how they compete with other match projs.

Nope haven't tried anything lighter than 100's but since I have smaller cal's for smaller critters. I haven't tried any of the 140's but I have read on old post's of these boards that they have shot pretty good considering they aren't match bullets. might have to get a pack of 140's to try as well.
