Great news mate, hopefully it is true. Did the post say what state it was available in?

Factory ammo is plentiful again too. My lgs is just a small operator. Everything I’ve asked for over the counter he’s magically produced.
I always ask if he has any and usually not.
Apparently it comes and goes still.
Like he had hornady vmax 22 mag. Now he dose’nt. Because i bought all of it.
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned

Its my understanding that production is now, more, or, less, back to normal. So, things should settle down over the next few months. Depending of demand I guess.

Hi ,
Could I just ask which cartridges you load with the Pro 300MP, I got some off a buddy a while ago but haven't tried it out yet.
Cheers.

Buy a 4KG from an RA shop if they have it blokes as others will likely buy up the first batch and it could be a while before they do the next run.

Don't ya just love acronyms. Not.
I'm going to take a punt that it's Rifle Association, as in National Rifle Association.
But no doubt fester will be along to advise, soon?

Apparently once in, it goes out real fast. Too quick for this old bugger.

Yes we do it is the VRA shop in Bendigo it is on the Wellsford rifle range. Although they have or are going to change the name of Wellsford to something Aboriginal to be Political correct. Another example of going overboard.

The shop is also online but you must do pickups for powder and other license required products.

In Queensland it is the QRA shop look at it online a very wide range of products at good prices most of the time.

The VRA shop website indicates that they have limited amounts of most rifle powders, other than 2205 and 2208
