I would of thought Sellier & Bellot, Hornady, Remington, Sako, GECO & Norma would make or eventually make a light fragmenting 243 non lead factory load that's for foxes and vermin
the market is there for those that need to use it

Not sure about it.
But if Nosler has distributor in Slovenia, whit miniature shooting market, than I would be really suprised if Nosler is not present at UK market.
Nosler is, Iāve only ever seen their lead free Varmint offerings for sale once though, so not sure they are regularly imported.
I sometimes use a Yew Tree bullet in my .25-06 for foxing, it works very well. As it becomes more of an issue, more solutions will be found/imported. At the moment it makes no financial sense to do so because folks don't generally buy them. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Richard at Yew Tree came up with lighter and more frangible options once folk are spending enough to make it worth his time and investment.

Thanks, as above, I think, if and when any ban comes in, then more alternatives will become available, including hopefully the noslers above.Nosler .243 Spitzer BTLF - Nosler

Until then Iāll stick with 75 gr v-max as I have a good load and it flattens the foxes.
