That's interesting, they told me there was a legal issue and 1kg was the limit.

Perhaps the only legal issue is their ability to store enough to keep everyone with just enough.
Me taking almost one fith of their power on hand probably throws a spanner in the works.

I'm not about to get upset about it but I will quiz them again next visit.

The quantity they can store will depend on the quality of the storage facility. Pretty sure Work safe authorise the quantities.

Not too many dealers are set up to store heaps of powder, but they should be more than happy to order it in for you.

Their storage may be limited to small quantities. Each LGS will be different.

Last week I finally received my 62gr FMJ projectiles from Gaz (Thanks again) must have been some problems with shipping as they were sent months ago, anyway, I have loaded 30 of them up and plan on testing them within the next 2 weeks. has anybody had experience with these? they have the steel penetrator rods.

Hey O_o_w...Sungazer is right...
Try rifle sa/sara...usually cheaper than gun shops too.
