Tactical HQ advertised some 125 grain PPU factory ammo, northwards of R22 per round :(

I've shot around 100 rounds of subs using 220gr Lee Cast Bullet powder coated. Mostly in adjusting my gas block, as I don't find them accurate because from the standard mold they drop a bit undersize, think right on .308 some .309. I'm not sure if this has been rectified in newer molds.

Still haven't even gotten around to coating and sizing those bullets you sent me.

I hear Silver Rapids is busy with an 150ish gr bullet for the AK, which i would like to get my hands on some when they released to see if I can size them down to .310 and run them in the blackout.

Still hoping for a really cheap 110gr - 125gr bullet, as they shoot really nicely in the blackout. Doubt it will happen though.

Do you know where I can get my hands on some 143gr PMP FMJ bullets?

No I don't unfortunatley. My source has also dried up. Granted I still have quite a few. I'm kinda looking for a new source or bullet. I know the 155gr Frontier's were "ok" when I tested them, not pretty but they worked.

If 155's are OK, I have 2000 Noslers...

I have a love hate relationship with Noslers. Cant for the life of me get the 140gr RDF's to group on my 6.5 Creedmoor.
On the plus side they were cheap.

Whats the prices on the 155gr 30 Cals?

From gunshops the range from R8.50 a bullet for bulk packs to R11 a bullet for packs of 100. Liked them for target shooting. Consistency is great. They shoot just as well as the old Sierra 2155's.

I’ve recently joined the bende, albeit with a bolt action:

Howa mini action in an MDT Oryx chassis

Nice! Any plans to supress it?

Nope. That’s one of the rights you should fight tooth and nail to hold onto in RSA. Suppressors here are massively regulated, mostly because of poaching as far as I can tell.
