Different shooting situations demand different bullet designs. That's why we stock a variety of options to suit hunting, pest control, and target shooting.
Soft-point bullets remain a popular choice for stalking, offering controlled expansion and dependable penetration for ethical hunting performance.
Ballistic tip bullets provide excellent accuracy and rapid expansion, making them particularly well suited to foxing and deer stalking where precision is essential.
Designed with consistency and accuracy in mind, match-grade and hollow point ammunition is widely used by target shooters looking for tight groupings and repeatable performance.
With increasing interest in non-lead alternatives, we also stock copper and lead-free bullet options for those operating under environmental requirements or personal preference.
We supply rifle ammunition from some of the most respected manufacturers in the industry, including:
These brands are trusted by hunters and target shooters alike for their quality, consistency, and proven field performance.
Selecting the correct ammunition can have a significant impact on accuracy and terminal performance. Factors such as bullet weight, rifle twist rate, barrel length, and intended quarry all influence which load will perform best. Whether you're changing bullet type, developing a new load preference, or preparing for a stalking trip, our experienced team can help you find ammunition that suits both your rifle and your intended use.
Under current UK firearms legislation, rifle ammunition can only be sold in person to certificate holders. For this reason, all rifle ammunition must be purchased and collected in-store. To buy ammunition, you'll need to present a valid Firearm Certificate (FAC) with the appropriate calibre and sufficient allowance. If you're unsure whether your certificate covers a particular cartridge or quantity, our team will be happy to advise.
