    No STG they are still in business and it is booming, as you would be aware 303 Britishicon reloading gear is getting harder to source nowadays. The man who is no longer in business is Mr Bone of the Taipan projectile fame, I still have 500 odd left and am going to slash my wrists the day the last of those goes down the barrel.
    The PP protected point is a good idea if you look at them the outer jacket comes to a hollow point, the lead core comes up flush to the rim of the jacket which saves the soft core from damage as it's fed into the breech.
    I get them for $33 (aus) a box of 50, not sure what the law is your end but if you need any and they are expensive over there can post some over for you.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Righto, it was Taipan that is no longer. The Woodleighs were not all that unreasonable. The Woodleighs ran $33.49 US for 50. I ordered 100, which should last me for this season and into next. Thanks, Aussie, for the shipping offer. I think I am covered for now

    There is also a 215 RN grain flat base out there. I may post this question back in the LE forum, but wondering if anyone shoots those out of vintage LEs? Blackpowder even? Maybe save that one for another thread.

    Unbelievable, they have to ship them to the States and still work out cheaper than here at home. They are usually around $60 a box of 50 here but have a dealer mate who gets them for me for the cost to him.
