Do you know this to be fact?


Only what I have been told mate, talking to companies in the business. bronzewing apparently has another load on the way. But easy enough to check, call or email bronzewing to see if they still do, and whoever is bringing in the Vihta.

People can also get on the expression of interest list. I'm not bothering this time as I couldnt get to Vic to pick up my allocation last time( back in QLD again, cant jusitfy a 3000km return trip)

The best powders IMO for Vectan are
BA 6 1/2. Slow burning magnum pistol, roughly Win296 level
BA 7 /2. Slightly faster but still heavy pistol powder, like Blue Dot from memory
Ba 9. Vectans version of Unique or AP-70

I had 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 allocated but alas not to be and when the laws changed to disallow more than 5kg being moved across NSW it stopped smaller QLD gunstores from self driving to pick up their own too.

I'm loving the vectan AO in 9mm in lite and heavy loads .
