I noticed Tradeex also carries Privi 303 150 gr FmjBT's. I have a tack driving No4 Mk1 in a walnut Biship stock with a 3x9 Baush and Lomb. I ordered 100 to try a load. This should be a flatter shooting coyote round!

If you ever get a chance,try this little guy. It's flat shooting and fast. Very accurate as well.

Ooohhh I've been looking around for those! Hopefully my supplier will have some at the next gun show near me as I asked him to bring them in.

They look very much like the Sierra Match kings; full jacket around the base and small hole at the pointy end.
Is it possible that they produce them for Hornady?
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Canuck. Check out Tradeex. I just got off there. They have complete rounds of Hornady 174 Classic Match HPBT in 303, and Sierra 174 HPBT 303 projectiles. Both look like they are in stock.

These Hornady match bullets shoot very well.  They measure 0.312 in diameter (174 SMK measures .311 dia).  If I remember right, they have a slightly different shape compared to the SMK.  With my No. 4 Mk I*/3, I've shot 10 round groups prone with sling that measure under 2 MOA.  Off the bench, about 1.5 MOA or better.  If you have a slightly oversized bore, these may shoot better than the SMK.  I've gaged the bore in my No. 4 right at 0.30325 (0.3035 gage will not pass).
