Highland projectiles

Post by Kyle2632 » 11 Jan 2015, 3:30 pm

Hi guys

I have read on this site that you can get Highland projectiles very cheap somewhere in Australia but I havent been able to find anything on them. Has anyone on here seen them around. Im chasing 243 by the way.


Cheers

Have bought them in 311, 223 from Claremont firearms Bibra Lake, not much good to you, but they might tell you who their wholesaler is, and call them for someone close to you.

This is pretty much suggestion for everything :lol:

Try Magnum Sports in Roseville, Sydney.

They will ship nationally (cheap too), no problems shipping projectiles as they don't go bang.

Anything I've wanted which they haven't had they've always been happy to call round and order it in.

Try them, if they have a supplier they'll order and send to you no problems.

Ive done the leg work on this for my 30-30 win and in general. Magnum Sports DONT do Highland/PPU projectiles and haven't for a long time.

OSA nor Ridgeline list this brand of projectile anymore either.

I'm keen to buy in bulk but not keen to part with over $0.20 per pill if I can avoid it.

The standard velocity .22 LR highland failed two in one box ruptured down the side of the case. Also found I needed to clean my gun more frequently, due to the amount of soot and crap they left behind. Back to using CCI, more expensive but far better quality.

Doesn't sound good at all. I've had Winchester various breeds not fire lately, also CCI and Federal. I blame my firing pin. But never had rupture.

Have you tried or know where to get the Highland/PPU projectiles as in the OP?

Mmm, hard to blame the ammo when they're all failing on you.

I think what OP is referring to reading was a comment here by Warrigul? Saying he got them in bulk cheap but it was a once of clearance special or something I think. Not an every day deal.
