I checked Unfortunately you shoot at Bisley so you are a million miles away from me otherwise I would of happily come round to your place and helped you to reload as many rounds as you wanted. As the law stands they have to stay on the shelf covered in dust I am afraid.
Distance is the killer...but Mike shoots mostly in the Dundeee club plus he's been known to visit Dromia when passing on the A1.
I'm sure a solution will not be too far away.

Sounds like a job for the Full Bore UK network to me.

ITL do have 9mm ammo with lead bullets. CIP tested and £25 per 100.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

It's true badger however reloading is strangely rewarding.

Just loaded 50 rounds of .223 whilst the Mrs was watching some $hit£ on TV.

£376 is the price of one rifle once you have the kit you can reload any calibre you want you don't have to ever buy ammo again. Reloading is a fantastic hobby in it self.

Flanker, I could but at the moment I can't be arsed :-). I'm tempted to move over to a Dillon press for my 44 and 9mm. Spoke to the plod today and they increased my 9mm stash to 1000 rounds.

So why do you need to move to a Dillon press.? Why do you need to store a 1000 rounds. I thought you did not want to reload 9mm.

I reload my 44 at the moment and I find it a chore so if I decide to reload 9mm as well I want to be able to churn the stuff out as quickly as possible hence moving over to a Dillon. Hence the reason if I can buy ammo cheaply then why reload? My ammo usage is only going to increase rapidly this year and beyond and I don't want the thought of having to load 500 rounds at a time to spoil my shooting. Rifle reloading is a different matter all together, slow, methodical and relaxing.

1000 rounds of 9mm - because up here its like Unicorn poo and I'm going to buy it when I'm down south.
