    Buntline,
    I have some of the 174 Gn RN projectiles, and plan to use them later. Also loaded some 180 Gn spire flat base a while back. Don't want to sound anal about it, but will persist in my search for 174 SP FB bullets. Was going back through Skennertonicon the other day and looking at the data for MVII (?) ammo. The original ammo characteristic to a rifle is always of interest to me for some odd reason.

    Also, I know some folks seem to dismiss the benefits of the flat versus boat tail. Not sure I can do that without comparing apples to apples. I have some 174 Gn BTs. Don't have hard data or total recall of range trips, but seem to remember their performance was Ok out of No4 and not so much per No 1 Mk III rifle.

    Any other info from those who have used 174 flat base bullets versus BT would be welcome, but as I may have mentioned, I would really like to know a source for some 174 SP FB.

    Badger,
    Did not mean a strike against the moderation, just hoping that .303 folks would be looking here too. You are probably right, that reloading belongs in reloading...

    Thanks everyone
