Looking good! FYI you can claim your CDS by emailing enquiries@nioa.com.au

Yep will definitely be getting the CDS, but I need to test some more ammo before I send it in. I want to see if there's a cheaper round the rifle likes before locking it in as the buffalo River 70gr was about $45 from memory... Not keen on that price long term.

Yeah I got mine for a Bullet Factory 30cal all-rounder @ 2500fps/40,000psi; cheap, accurate and expands fine for when I wanna hunt. Must say, took some doing - the BC is unknown for these so I had to gather actual trajectory at a variety of distances before extrapolating my specs.

Getting back to your 243, price-wise Nosler projectiles are pretty hard to beat.

Can you post ammunition? (not sure if it's even legal)

Generally speaking, forget about freight posting/freighting ammo...way too expensive...

Roughly how much are we talking for postage?

Gonna have to disagree with you there - if you can get an unbeatable price on projectiles (and you buy in bulk) it can be cheaper to get em delivered. For example, I get 30cal jacketed for just under 43c a pill and that’s including postage.
