Not yet collected them from Bedford (they won’t ship ammunition) but treated myself to the first factory.33 Winchester ammunition I have seen on offer since I bought the 1886 rifle as an unsold lot at Holts in 2011.

Been feeding it since then with re-formed .45-70 brass.

Having bought the rifle I discovered that Hornady had discontinued the 200 grain flat points, and when I met Steve Hornady at the Game Fair a year or so later he regretted that there were no plans to bring it back.

A friend was going to Australia and I asked him to try to find a box of Woodleigh bullets. He couldn’t but did find and brought back a box of the discontinued Hornady.

Mostly I feed it cast flat nose, which group well and equal factory velocities.
