Can't find S&B 6.5 140 grn target bullets

[urban]

I bought 500 S&B 6.5mm 140 grain bullets a few years ago and I'm about to run out. They shoot very well in my Tikka 6.5CM - but nobody seems to have them in stock. Does anyone have a stash that they don't need?

If not those, then what should I use? I'm a cheapskate when it comes to bullets. Cheap alternatives would be PPU (£34/100), Lapua Scenar (£52/100), Hornady match (£50/100), Sierra matchking (£55/100)

I know that the correct answer is "try them all" but really, life's too short. Which shall I try?

I made some loads up for a friends 6.5 tikka.

We used the lapua scener 139g
Wildcat had them for £50ish??

Made up some loads with vit N150 and they all grouped really well.

That’ll be loaded rounds but I think they may be more now.

Are they FMJ with a cannelure or bthp?

Box is marked "type: FMJ" and "No. 2905". There's no cannelure.

They seem to be available from a couple of CZ sites - but they don't deliver to the uk.
