    I've had 300 matchkings on order from sportsman since December!

    Just come back from Nashville and looked in 7 or 8 gunshops including huge basspro and didn't see any 8mm bullets. But its not a popular round out there. Especially down south.

    "An infinite number of monkeys banging away at type writers for an infinite period of time will eventually reproduce Hamlet" Thanks to discussion forums we now know this to be untrue.

    Target, Amir. There's plenty of expanding about but I don't have expanding on my ticket unfortunately

    Try Tony Leamon - http://ajleamon.co.uk/shop/?product_cat=ppu - he has the PPu 8mm 198gn bullets listed on his website and shoots fairly regularly at Severnside so is worth a try.

    He has a trove of unusual bullets on his shelves. Evenings are the best time to get him on the phone.

    Hope this helps.

    Adam.

    Edit: He also has Hornady Interlock RN 8mm 170gn bullets in stock.

    Many thanks Adam - I completely forgot about trying Tony and have now spoken to him. He is able to supply so it looks like I'm now sorted.

    Thanks again.

    Yes, Adam's advice was excellent and as a result Tony sold me what looks to have been the last of his stock! However, Parabuteo has indicated that the NRA shop has some and both PPU and Sierra are on back order with Dauntsey Guns nr. Chippenham. Hopefully enough to go round!
    Cheers
