Thank you gentlemen! I'll give them a bell on Monday, will keep you informed!
Yes it 'might' be cheaper to buy your ammo, but I like to roll my own for all cartridges that I shoot except the .22LR - just because I want to!

Forget it, they are long gone with all their equipment either sold or scrapped and the land re-purposed as a car wreckers. The shot tower is still there though, last time I was in Maria St Laverton Nth. Winchester Australia was the biggest customer of Ballantynes and when they closed Hays Rd the loss of income was more than Ballantynes could carry so they closed up.
