    Hey, just to let you know that the delivery man just handed over a bag of bullets from Wilson & Wilson, ordered yesterday afternoon after the recommendation here. VERY impressed, me.

    Thanks, W & W.

    No idea, this is the first time I've bought bullets in UK for a good while. By my usual pricing standards the UK price is appalling - you'll have to make a phone call and find out what YOU think.

    Personally fellas I think you are missing a trick.

    I recently bought 500 Optimus HBC 155gr that p*ss all over the SMK offerings in anything I have shot them in and they are usually cheaper (IIRC 500 was £140 posted).

    I know the Op was after 168s....

    The HBC is worth a look, seriously (as is reload swiss powder) and is not yank dependant.

    I gave "Google" a good hiding but couldn't find anything except for references to persons on other forums (fora?) who had small quantities

    Tac if you are buying for the K31 have you tried the PPU 174 grn? available from Kranks at a helluva lot less than SMK's, and unless you are Bench resting the Swiss Miss I would be impressed if you can see the difference.
