South Africa, Texas, Alaska - hey, they count. Trust me!
All, I'm looking for some lighter weight 9.3 bullets. I've tried 250's but suspect I'm not getting the stabilization I need.

Does anyone have anything in the 185-232gr. range they might part with?

Thanks,
 
North Fork produces a 214 grain Semi Spitzer in .366 that would work great I believe but I don't know if any have made it stateside. I would love to get my hands on some.
 
The last time I looked at Europtics, they had the Lapua 185 open tip bullets in stock. 100count boxes. They shot great in my Ruger. I have not hunted with them thou

Thanks for the pointer!
 
I've got a couple of boxes of the commercial Norma Vulkan 232gr ammo. I know they also sell just the bullet as a reloading component but I'm not sure of the availability.


The same exact thing can also be said about the RWS 184gr Evolution Green. I'm down to my last box of commercial ammo but they also sell it as a reloading component (Item# 2318523). It's made of nickle-plated frangible tin. My guess is that it would be difficult to source in the USA.

North Fork offers them in 232 gr. They are currently available, because I just took delivery of an order 30 days ago. If they are out, give me a shout; I'll send some gratise.

Correction: Cutting Edge bullets are available, not North Fork.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
