.177 Bullets from Czech Republic?

[DaveyH]

I recently purchased a 6" Czech Alfa Model 461 Revolver. This revolver uses the smallest bullet I have ever seen,!) – manufactured from from Sellier and Bellot – a .177,4mm) cartridge... as small as a mouse’s XXX!

Does anyone know who can make a .177,4 or 4.5mm) bullet that is longer and more powerful? The gun shop was no help. They just shrug their shoulders,typical Czech attitude).

Because it is a rim-shot, and so small, I can’t make my own reloads. Am I SOL???

Thanks!

Dave,

17 cal bullets are available everywhere reloading supplies are sold. Hornady and Berger, plus others make them. But since the cartridge is a rimfire, reloading them is very difficult. I know it can be done, but I've never done it.

Good luck,
Kory
