What bullets are you using to load this calibre, is there anything out there for just cheap plinking, the price of surplus going up, time I think to come up with a cheap load

TIA

These are great, 15EUR per 100 and 16EUR delivery so it works out at £145 for 1000 delivered.

Thank you all, these give me a good starting point.

Just an addition, is there any cheaper powders to consider rather than Vit or similar. ???
