Hi, Ed and milprileb,

you should also try the S&B 180grs. FMJBT`s i got 1000 for €164,-. They are very accurate and differs only 2grs in max. .

How does your S&B hold up as far as reloading life compared to other brands of cases that you have reloaded.

(Or are you rich and just toss your brass)

Hi Ed,

i use only the bullets from S&B. The cases are PRVI and they are longlife. I use the same 300 pieces that i bought 3 years ago. With few losses. The S&B cases are not good, i used some in my .357mag and they splitted after the 2nd time of reloading. I dont want to use it for my rifles. And Ed, i am not rich i am a reloader. When i get rich i`ll use Lapua cases not only for my sniper.

You had me worried, I thought you might be living in the “old” Communist East Germany and were sharing “communal” brass with everyone in your shooting commune.

Ed,

no i am not living at there and share cases for toilettpaper or bananas. But it is a good idea for an poor little bavarian shooter like me. Do you have some new PRVI rounds, i give you my old ones and a sedative tablet to make the bad deal a bit easier for you! ;-)

We get Privi under the Highland brand in Aussie head stamped nny. Made in Serbia by PPU

The 174gnBT looks just like the Mk8z projectile. Just need a die to do away with the BT and we will have Mk7 174gn FMJ.

Yesterday I shot my no.4 mk.1 in a military shoot match.Only SMLE guns were used and I shot hand loads 174 boat talls and the old girl did just fine.Out of possible 300 she shot 298 Not bad for BOAT TALES !

This is a very old thread, and as caustic as milsurp corrosive ammo! So at my own risk, I dare ask which modern Lapua bullets are rebated BT? On the Lapua website there is no reference, however it appears the scenar -L, D46 and D166 may in fact be RBT? Any thoughts from my more experience reloaders? Also graf and sons appears to have a white label version of the scenar-L for the 303, and wondered if anyone has reloaded and shot this with success. I say white label as I can’t trace the manufactures number to any bullet on the Lapua website. I have a 1943 enfield, which has has a shot out barrel, ok for plinking but never going to shoot match or hunt. Was hoping to improve accuracy a little with these magical RBT over the standard PPU loads I typically shoot. PS I find the PPU brass excellent to reload. I recently picked up some Greek ammo but have not yet shot it, but pleased to learn of its reputation from this thread! Thanks.
