410's very popular here in Aussie, good snake gun. I currently have a Rossi 410 single shot

My goal is really just a cool possuming gun, so accuracy of an inch at 25m would be plenty.

I've finally asked and vulcan the .45acp barrel is a 16" twist

Its too quiet around here ....

For all Remington 700 owners http://xmprecall.remington.com/pdfs/...all-notice.pdf and http://xmprecall.remington.com/ no one has ever liked those triggers and this will just add fuel to the fire.

I am now all set up for reloading, spent a little bit and have got a Lee Classic press set up with Lock'n'Load conversion for the dies, OAL gauges, tumblers, and a few hundred Lapua brass and projectiles to start with ........ however this all has to wait till I get back to NZ as I am not licensed here.

Also have a new chassis on its way for the rifle so going to be a busy time on RTNZ setting that up and starting the reloading obsession!

I wonder why Americans have 10 commandments of firearms safety and we have 7...

It seems Americans are allowed to be using alcohol when shootin'...

What the hell is happening with the Gun Shed in Mt Eden?
Popped in for a perv and drool session and the place is crap! Only a few guns on the walls and really not very much of interest there. A far cry from what it used to be.

They're closing down retail and moving to wholesale supplying.
You may be able to talk them into a bargain if the dregs of what's left is interesting to you

All what is left on their walls is of little to no interest to me. Their 5.11 Tactical boots were very tempting though! $139- a pair!
I wondered whether goon city's bigger premises and FAR bigger range had impacted on gun shed.

**nseagoon** · 24th April 2014, 09:29

I don't think so. I've Only used gun City once since they came here.

I went to gun City, saw it on sale at too high a price. Went to sai, then serious shooters then back to gun City.
Ended up paying 40% of their so called sale price. Usually they drop out of the haggling game early though.

As I said see if you can talk them down. You may be surprised.

nzhunter.com are having a sale. get some fucking optics and shit.

Spent the day here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROF_Radway_Green

Not quite sure I can reload at the rate the machines were doing it there, pretty amazing how fast brass, copper, lead and steel and transformed into full rounds!

**jono035** · 8th May 2014, 06:34

Wow, that'd be a pretty awesome tour. I've spent quite a lot of time talking to Richard at Serious Shooters about the high-volume reloading equipment he has seen running, it'd be cool to actually see some of it.

Free brass to a good home. About 70 or so spent .308's, maybe a dozen spend .243's mixed in with them. Fired once from new, not used to reload. Prefer pickup from Mt Wellington, shipping is a PITA.
