Your requirement for match bullets may need to be reconsidered. They are long and pointy with boat tails.

Your photos are for loaded ammo. If the original poster is looking for component bullets he is still out of luck.
It may be that Norma or Herter's might have cataloged something similar 60 years...
I think it depends on what kind of gun stuff you deal in.
I have over 300 transactions for reloading tools on ebay so most of my transactions are for some sort of gun related stuff.
I have also...
Where did you get the idea that these bullets ever existed?
RN FMJ bullets are used about 4 places
1. Military applications such as the .30 US Carbine
2. The ammo for the US air force .22...
>>>Perhaps the closest the US came to having a comparable aircraft would be the B-25 Mitchell? <<<
Probable the A-26 Invader powered by 2 P&W R2800s and more heavily armed than the Mosquito. ...
I saw a black P-82 fly at the Harlingen, Tx CAF airshow in the mid to late 1980s.
All beam scales that I have used are better than the Lee scale. I have 2 of the Lee scales and they are not worth the shipping to give them away.
I like the old Hornady/Bair/Pacific triple poise...
I got a new Redding 8X33 form and trim die off of ebay really cheap. I was the only bidder. I use it to form other cases. For the 8X33 you would probably also need a reamer die to thin the necks.
A little more info about my .303 experience.
For many years there were no match or FMJ .303 bullets available through common channels in the US. Back then I was mostly a hunter anyway so I shot...
I have been reloading the .303 on and off since about 1970.
I spent a bit of time trying to determine the best way to reduce or eliminate case head separations. I have been loading 50 years and the...
Annealing your case necks will prevent spring back of the neck.
I had 2 sets of the collet neck dies. The .243 die worked fine.
I also had a set of 6mm Rem collet neck dies.
The 6mm die never...
During the Boer War one of the German companies had a shortage of 7x57 cases. So the made up ammo for the Boers using brass originally planned for the 7.65X53 Mauser.
The Dutch documentation for...
I once ran a test on an old Mauser using Egyptian corrosive 8X57 ammo.
I fired 20 rounds of the ammo and then cleaned the bore very thoroughly with Hoppe's #9.
Within 3 days I cleaned it again and...
This rifle was rechambered to shoot the 6.5 bullet in the .257 Roberts case. This is a wild cat round and it is easy to reload for.
If you cannot find 6.5X257 Roberts dies you can size the cases...
My dad sometimes visited in the 1950s who ran a truck and heavy equipment repair business in a small oil field town. The guy was about 20 years older than my dad and it was clear that my dad held...
Oliver Stone is in the business, like the rest of Hollywood, to sell a product that will make money.
As far as truth goes many times that is a matter of opinion.
I can show you millions of...

Just tell him to correct his typo because it is clearly a mistake.
In Lee Enfields, 1891 and 1898/09 Mausers I get the best results with the 174 grain RN Hornady .312 and the Sierra 180 grn spitzer .311 bullets. The longer bullets have longer bearing surfaces and...
If you test the resolving ability of the human eye at 100 yards (100 meters is close enough too) you will find that a healty normal human eye can barely resolve alternating 1 inch wide back and white...
Hornady 4th Ed 36.9 to 42.9 of H4895
The primer is the Federal #210
I would recommend that you collect 5 to 7 manuals. Throw out the high data and low data manuals. Use data from the 3 manuals...
You can research Handloader Magazine for a letter from an Argentine Ordinance officer. He discussed some of the confusion caused by the SF ammo. He said they called it the 7.65 Mauser with NO...
Hello Ovidio Thanks for checking. It does not sound like you have a constant source of bullets for the 6.5 Carcano. We have Hornady bullets at a lower price and no shipping from Italy.
Hello Ovidio I appreciate your checking. I am in no hurry. It would be good to find a source for the correct bullets. A few million rounds were manufactured in the US during the 1950s. This...
The Hornady tool has quirk that can mislead you if you try to use it for direct measurements if you want to compare with the SAAMI drawing. More on this later.
The Hornady tool works fine if you...
