Just been reading another thread and need to ask....do you mean a heads up, or a Bullets up?
Cheers, Ken.
Thank you for the pointer, N140 will keep me going for a very long time. £296 incl Hazmat, 8lb tub, what's not to like?, 1Kilo at Kranks £116

You are welcome. It certainly isn't going to get any cheaper, and availability is certainly iffy for the foreseeable future.
They did the same on some Berger bullets recently - £42 per 100 or £47 per 100 if you bought a box of 1,000!!RL26, £61/ lb, of buy an 8lb tub = £68 /lb
They are doing it now with some Sierra bullets. Cheaper to buy 5*100 than a 500 pack. I suppose they sell them for what they get them (which could be at different times or from different suppliers) plus a fixed markup. In many respects, a more honest way to do business. They could easily up the price of the 100 packs.
The N140 is out of stock now - so well done to anyone who managed to nab one.

I think I may have nicked the last one - thank you for flagging.
I did hesitate, but then saw that they has recipes for .308 with 155gr bullets - which is my AI AX.
Think that an 8lb tub will see me out.

I have a 308 AI AX too. Use it mostly for 175’s but the occasional 155 too. I have some N150 to try out on heavier bullets.

It is a lovely rifle to shoot.
Just shocking to carry and worse to wedge into the back of the truck.
The rife and hard case come in at 3 stone!
I am taking it up to Scotland in the summer, for some bloody silly completion I have been "volunteered" for.
Will make a total arse of myself, but I will be in Scotland and so will not care.

When I bought the rifle (before I had seen it), I reminded the RFD that I would need a sling, as it was my intention to take it stalking up in the Highlands on the Sika.
He didn't argue, but would ensure he would have one ready, when I came to collect the rifle.
Weeks later, I went to collect the rifle.
Stalking? I could barely lift if off the counter.
Additionally:-
After a couple of years dodging the issue I eventually ordered a hard case for it.
It was heavy enough to make carrying it from the gate to the house comical.
It is large enough to accommodate my dead body.
It is (when opened) wide enough to act a a sledge for the average sized family.
It is long enough to not fit in the cargo bay of my 110, but has to be fed in at an angle and then placed widthways.
It was expensive enough to warp the plastic on which it was purchased.
Yeah, well done S62. Another splendid purchase...
Possibly a little for carriage?
N140 and 155 gr .308 is very good medicine
