    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.

    Ta!

    I have 400 surplus 8mm bullets but I live in Cornwall so postage could be a problem. They are probably S&Bs but I bought them in bulk at Bisley a while ago. For the record, I will be at Bisley for the Police open championships from 8th to 10th of September if that is of any help.
