Any good for BE? 32 SWL Haendler & Natermann Sport GMBH.

Greetings,

0.314" is ideal for the Pardini HP factory barrels.

Curious, did you find a box at a garage sale; or, do you have a source for buying new bullets?

Cheers,

Dave

Greetings,

Found an old test target of a Pardini HP barrel fired at 50 yards in a mechanical fixture.

Cheers,

Found some that seller wants $200 per box of 1000. Seems a little high when I compare to Lapua at $175.

I've used Lapua. There is no comparison. H&N is far superior.

Greetings,

The H&N bullets, in bulk, were packaged 500/box and 8 boxes/case.

They are still made.

Just need a "Mule" to get them from the EU to the USA.

Doc Young used to fill a suitcase with them when traveling to matches in Europe.

If you can source a Military member, they can buy them in Europe and ship them to the USA in USPS Flat Rate Boxes.

The grease on the H&N bullets does go bad. One needs to shoot them up and not save them for "rainy days".

Checking one European website, 500 0.314 bullets are "Buy it Now" for $67.00/500 USD.

So, $200/1000 may not be too bad.

Shipping is always a setback.

Consider the "Bear Creek". If you carefully sort out and load the good ones they will hold close to ten-ring at 50 yards.

Cheers,

Dave

Bear Creek will also size them to .315 - which the MG4 needs.

Can you relube the H&N?

I’d try HiTek coating first.

          I would wash all the old lube off with gasoline or some sort of solvent. Personally I'd make some 45-45-10 lube or just buy some from White Label and tumble the cleaned bullets in a plastic pail. 2 real light coats will do the job.
