Quick question as I couldn’t discern from MMEs site and I appreciate they are “custom”, but what sort of costs are their bullets?
As an example .308 168grain. Wimbledon match £36 x 100. Mistral £36 x 100. Mistral tipped £65 x 100.
155grain is the same price. Prices quoted are taken from the flyer he gave me at the Shooting show.
I have loaded and used the 168grain Wimbledon match and shot them at 100 yards they worked fine for a first outing I am in the process of carrying out some load development to see how I can get them to perform. They were shot from a Steyr SSG 69 fitted with one of The Shooting SHEDS Støtteben F/TR Bipods . The Khales ZF scope didn't help I think its come to its end of life I have taken it off and fitted a new scope. The FTR bipod makes a big difference It was worth the money.
As I said the scope let me down.

I have been in touch with Pete of MME bullets he has a back log and it could take months to get anything from him. Must be popular.

Seems to be a supply problem with Sierra MatchKings, which is what I have used to date. 155g HPBT .308 been quite happy with the results, but need to have an alternative available if this shortage lasts much longer.
Suggestions welcome.
I switched to the Hornady Match 155gn HPBT a couple of years ago.. They're certainly more accurate than i am, (although only an occasional long range shooter), and a lot cheaper than the SMK..
+1 on the hornady's. Can't complain
