Importing projectiles

[MtnMan]

Just found some projectiles for sale on an NZ forum.

Is it possible to get them sent to Australia from NZ through the post?

You just got a very generous offer on the other forum

Yep, but you need a B709 import permit.

History tells me postage will likely make it un viable

Not if he takes up the offer

NZ Post will not ship projectiles, brass etc. They will have to ship by commercial carrier.

[MtnMan]

So if NZ post doesn't ship them then how will 'the offer' work since I would need to to have them posted to an NZ address?

[Oldbloke]

Can I ask what the intended use is?

[MtnMan]

I use them in a reduced load. 39gr of AR2206H for 2550fps.
been excellent performance on pigs, goats and a fallow. shots are inside 150m.
Great youth load for my 10yo son.

Like all good things they've been discontinued so When I see them I like to try and grab some.

Sounds like more effort than it's worth though for 80 bullets.

[Oldbloke]

Thought as much.

Just buy a std bullet such as hotcore or SP cup&core 130gr or 110gr if you like. Then using a sharp knife cut the lead tip off. You will get a similar fast opening result.

I have done same to fox loads with 55g superoos (considered a tad hard by some) only doing abt 1800-2000fps, works fine. Cheaper too.

I looked at buying a scope from same forum abt a year ago. Postage was expensive so I dropped the idea.

If you ask that seller to include post to AU he may simply say offer was for NZ only.

on a side note if I sent one of you guys some projectiles would we be braking any laws I have thought about sending some over to you guys and didn't know if any one would get in trouble.
I myself can send them to anyone here in the states and no one would care powder is different I have thought about it and never offered for that reason some time I have stuff I am not going to use and it would be kind of nice to see what you guys would do with it.

Your 10 year old son?

I thought legal age of firearm use in Queensland on private property under supervision of a licenced adult was 11.

You would not be admitting to ilegal activity on a public fournm now would you?

I assume you are in Queensland based on your location.

Yes, we require an import permission to import ammunition components like brass and bullets. I haven't seen shotcups or sabots included in that though. We can send brass and bullets throughout Australia with no issues, we just can't import them or export them without permissions.
