357mag Ammo

#1 Post by Mike357 »

We are having trouble in the club getting 357mag ammo for probationary club members to use. The usual sources have it on their price lists but it is never in stock.

Can I send a request down the wire for anybody who knows where we can get preferably non jacketed ammo on a fairly regular basis to let me know and we'll take it from there.

Thank you my FB chums! :D

I could suggest 38 Spl ammo which is readily available.

The Winchesters don't like the short stuff so has to be 357.

Give Wilson and Wilson Fieldsports in Ramsgate a bell. He's a royal pain in the derierre, but the bloke buys in bulk like no independant gunshop.

He once bought all of Winchesters .45-70 brass that was allocated for the whole of Europe, to go with Europes allocation of limited run 1886 take downs.........
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I'm presuming the 'usual sources' includes Henry Kranks in Leeds? I do find it a bit annoying that they have 3 weights of 9mm continually on their listings but only actually stock the 147gr which doesn't group well in my gun :roll:
