Help! 303 Bullet Heads
I'm trying to obtain 180 grn soft points heads for reloading.
Does anyone anywhere in the UK know a source.
I've tried a few places but nobody seems to stock them.
Thanks in anticipation.

If you are wondering.....
Bob Smart (Smart.Co) is a dealer in the Manchester area.
If I remember corectly he has a lot of clients who are long range shooters and many have 303s.
I have bought alot of Partizan from him in the past.

Why is it people here in the UK insist on using the term "heads" when the correct term is bullet or projectile?
The head of a cartridge is that part which surrounds the primer, hence the word "Headstamp".
This is not at all personal jr57. I think the term originated from ignorant dealers selling deactivated weapons and ammunition in the UK.
If you want to be really pedantic, the head of a bullet (not the cartridge) is the ogival part above the parallel portion when the ogive is described in terms of "calibre radius head" or c.r.h.
End of rant!

I use heads just because it is what I am use to using when talking in english.
I usualy use ogive as I live in France and it is what we use here or we use ball.

This one, like many other small things in our world of firearms and related subjects...is one I've long since given up on trying to change. People speak the way they speak, and we can't change them. They simply don't care to listen.

Using "gun" to describe a rifle,pistol,revolver,carbine is the one that really gets me....

I try to use more passive terms now with civilians, mostly because of their gut fear of the power they project...firearm instead of "Guns" or certainly "Weapons"...at any rate, I found the masses neither know correct terms nor do they care to learn. If they do...they already know.
