284/7mm round nose bullets

[cooperjb1308]

Hi all, hopefully I’ll be picking up a 7x57 when the firearms licensing department gets back to me. The previous owner has a lot of 120gr ballistic tips but I’m hoping to find something a bit heavier, does anyone have a line on some Round nose bullets as I like them in both my 25-06 and 308 for woodland stalking.
As far as I can see they aren’t really in this country.
If anyone has any other recommendations it would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
Cooper

Give @Edinburgh Rifles a call. I think they have 7mm Peregrine Bushmasters. Bushmaster - Peregrine Bullets

I have been using the 6mm 100gn in my 243 to very good effect.

I have been using the Fox 130gn bullets in my 7x57. They work great in the woods and on the open hill on Roe, Red and Sika.

I think that they even do them in 2 weights, 154 and 170 grain if I remember correctly.

I have some of the original Hornady RN 154 gr, if you are interested.

I may still have some s&b 140gr round nose if of interest

Hornady discontinued the classic 175gn RNSP some years back. This was a modern version of the original 7X57 military 173gn FMJRN and its 175 RNSP expanding equivalent and I bought several hundred, in fact the last of Hannams Reloading remaining stock, for a pair of Chilean Mausers service rifles I had, the sights being regulated for these bullets at ca. 2,300 fps MV.

I no longer have the Mausers - age, decrepitude and worn out eyes mean I can't shoot these things anymore. I still have the bullets and if you're interested in buying them, please PM me.

Perhaps PPU factory ammo? I know the weight was 175 and my short throated 7x57 shot them fine just stiff bolt closure. I dont recall if they were round nose.
