To be honest I didn’t notice any difference with them ( apart from the price on the box, £97 for 200 ?) we had Winchester HV’s and Hornady and they all grouped pretty similar, we used a lot more of the A17’s just because he doesn’t pay for them, the estate does

Thanks for that! :thumbs:

Where are you, any idea who stocks these, none advertised close to me!    Are they just 200 boxes or are 50 available?

Cheers

These are at livens, Burton on Trent. They’re in boxes of 200 but they will split them into 50’s if that’s what you want.?

Thanks, but that's still a bit of a trek for me, I actually got my last .223 from them, I'm in Reading.

I need to search around a bit more.
