    I have used the blitzking in the passed 55g in the 1 in 12 on an old cz with good effect its finding the right powder/propellant and working out the load I used RL7 .the 55g in my opinion is the max for the 1 in 12 twist ,now using an old bsa cf hornet so don't think I have the reloading data ,but did try some 45g with good results but that's some time ago

    Last lot I got from Valley Arms in Ruthin. Usually Steve at Trent Firearm has a healthy supply of them - but its a bit of a trek.
    If your struggling to find any - I have box or two that you can buy. £24 each - thats what they cost me.

    I shot with a guy last week who was using a bog standard Howa 223 varmint rifle and factory ammo. It loved 55gr, guy used 4 different brands and it shot them all very well. At 300 yards he was more than matching the single shot full and semi customs others were shooting.

    I've just ordered some 69gr tipped match kings to try in the CZ 1:9 I've bought off of tank, it's a shame theyre not doing them in 52/53gr to give an alternative to 52gr a-max which shot very well through my 1:12 remmy
    Thanks for looking

    It only matters to the pedants with sod all to do but correct people from the comfort of their own attic.

    We know what you mean....although I believe my last consignment of bullets (PPU from Kranks) actually have heads printed on the box....and you cannot argue with a printed box can you?
