Evening all,
Here in the UK,we have no home manufacturer of 17 cal bullits, basically we can only get whatever Hornady make.Nothing wrong with that, in fact I really like their Vmax 20 grainers.However, I also do very well with my remaining stock of Berger 30's.Now I know that Todd Kindler produces 30 grainers, but he wont ship to the UK.I have also read on the forum, of a bloke called Chan, who also produces 30's. May I ask, does anyone on here have an email address for him, as I would like to find out if he can ship over to Blighty.Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Off up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire,as its way past me'bobo time and I haven't even had me'storey yet.
Cheers Chaps
Nick.
 
HIS quote
The bullets weights that I offer are 20gr ; 25gr and 30gr. In the 20gr and 25gr I offer 3 different meplats and in the 30gr only 2 different meplats. The meplats that I offer are : (1) V-046 which has about .047's hollow point. (2) TGV-046 has about .045's hollow point (3) T-000 meplat is as small as I can swage it down to with out messing things up. With the 30gr the two meplats are the V-046 and the T-000. The ogive is a # 7 and I use J-4 jackets and my bullets are all naked. The bullet coating I leave that to the customer. There is no automation every thing is done by hand.

It was 20.00 a box but I do not know if he ships outside the USA. I am quite sure our Federal Government gets involved with that.
Oh he did say the T-000 meplat is more Fur friendly.
I will tell you that I have checked into making my own bullets and I do know a few guys that are benchrest shooters and make their own bullets. It has been told to me several times that the best bullets, and most accurate, are made by hand.
 
I ordered bullets from Chan a couple months ago. He's now making his own jackets and due to that the cost per 100 is up to $30. He's a joy to do business with and the bullets look to be of excellent quality. I hope he's able to ship these little critter gitters to you boys across the pond. Best of luck to ya.

Many thanks,chaps for your replys,most helpful. I have heard of the Nagel bullets, but didn't make the Chan connection. I will endever to make direct contact with him and see what can be done, if anything.I have no problem with the Hornady product whatsoever, but as I am sure some of you will agree,when you get your kit just as you want it, you want EVERYTHING to be as good as it can be.....bullets included. Anyway, see how I get on, and thanks again.
Big love
Nick Browning from Blighty.

I'm pretty sure that I was paying in the region of £30 for Berger 30's a couple of years ago, here.
