Default Bergers discontinued bullets.

Post for our UK members.

Went to Norman Clarke today to see if I could find any 20 cal 50 gr Bergers, he has lots of stock on his discount bench. Match and Varmint. He also has stock of 17 cal 20 gr Bergers, another discontinued bullet.

Prices are 25% below his usual price, ring Dean.

No, they never had 25g target, only 20gr v. However, I did manage to source 600x25gr match target elswhere. I'll be VERY old if I take 600 fox shots.
Cost? £47 ($75 approx) per 200.

Give Chan Nagels 25 grain bullet a try, absolutely the most accurate bullet in all my .17 cal rifles. Very impressed with them, and he seems to be a prince of a guy to boot.

problem is us UK guys need export licences for bullets imported direct. For than we need UK import licences. The UK side is free, the US side is £300 ($500) a go.

So for a few handfulls of bullets its just not viable. There are a few guys in UK now starting to make target bullets.
