Has any body imported projectiles from the USA recently?
If so any problems?
No import permit required I'm presuming?
I'm wanting 1 pkt of 50 from Buffalo arms⁶

no problem to import . no import permit needed .
I note though the company you want to buy from says you need to arrange your own "export" permit . That is no simple thing . I also note they are saying you can use one of "their " export companies and that service is generally around 450 usd .
I have imported several things from the usa , but i use "reloaders international " https://reloadinginternational.com/ . Their . export permit is much cheaper . However , freight , insurance and the exchange rate will slam dunk you . You really need to be convinced you need those pills from Buffalo arms cause the all up cost will likely be 3 times what they cost in usd by the time they get to yoyr front door

An old mate has been given an old German rifle in 8.15 x 46R
He's determined to fire it.
Buffalo arms have the required projectiles and or the mould.
But I hear what you are saying.
We don't necessarily need those "correct" projectiles the bore slugs at .316 so maybe look for something else.
I see reloaders have a .324 dia 175grn mould available.
Probably as good as it gets.
Can size down as necessary
.303 brit projectiles go .312 and cast ones may well be a tad bigger again so might be a good starting point. after all .308 projectiles work well in a .311 bore like the 7.62x39mm so difference is very similar and .303 british projectiles arent that hard to source...may need to swap out expander ball in the dies for slightly smaller one...maybe not too.
I have cast .303 projectiles here.
They push into the bore with finger pressure would never take the rifling.
Well unlikely I'm thinking
Theres .318 bullets as well, from old german thingys around, ive still got some i think.
Woodleigh do a .318, but i may have some .318 cast gas checked still. how many times does old mate need to fire it before hes happy?
What about using patches on the slightly undersize balls like they do in black powder shooting?
Xx
