Ronin Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use Barnes TSX quite a bit for cull work. However, I'm not happy with consistency re accuracy box to box. Suggestions for alternative please - I'm arranging for some GS Customs from the Netherlands. I know Bernie Montana was making LTS a while ago - now i can't find his website, Anyone any other suggestions - Lutz Moeller - is he still making them? Anyone delay with these in the NL by the way - http://www.t2ammo.com/index.php/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desparado Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Lutz Moeller is certainly still in business, making loaded ammo now as well. If it is of any interest, I've got a few hundred Lost River Ballistics solids in various calibres from .22 to 7mm. Looking to offload them for pocket money. Cheers.

ejg223 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Ronin, Sax Bullets (fragmenting type) from Germany, or STL (expanding type) is just testing his new designs. I'll meet STL next week and will see how far he is, might be able to get you a few samples. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Cheers guys. Ive used Barnes extensively. Had a reply from Tiemens and Tiemens already (30 minutes from sending email), so should now be sorted. Interesting to hear Lutz is still going, I used a few LM 105's when I had the 338 - they were incredible, Im aware of the US and OZ manufactures, but they are damn hard to get here. Which is why I was asking for european source. I need a reliable expanding non lead projectile for a job - hopefully the GS Custom HV will be more reliable than the Barnes.

brown dog Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Genuine question: Why the non-lead requirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks Mik / Mike I'll call you this week Ive had a reply re GS Customs now too - possibly a reliable source at last! Matt - the landowner requires the use of Non lead ammunition, so I've got to use copper. I usually use Barnes, but they differ so much from lot to lot I want an alternative that doesn't.

desparado Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Cheers Des, are the LRB designed to expand, I need hunting application for specific task that must be copper only.. No, they are not designed to expand. LRB did make expanding ones, but these are just plain solids. I'm amazed at the number of makers of solids now, seems to be a growing market.

desparado Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Desperado If they are available might be interested in some 7mm solids, what do you have? Brgds Terry Terry, I have 100 7mm 162grs. If wanted, for £25. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Boy Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I use these in pretty much all of my hunting rifles, excellent consistency in manufacture and excellent performance on game. http://www.ssm-bullets.com/ssm/ Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
