Even if you couldn't get loaded ammo, primers, powder or bullets any more, you could still make your own black powder, cast your own bullets, make your own lube/patches and then let rip with the flintlock though, right?Probably a governmental and police conspiracy to circumvent legislation of our sport by making it impossible to actually fire a bullet.

See what I meanEven if you couldn't get loaded ammo, primers, powder or bullets any more, you could still make your own black powder, cast your own bullets, make your own lube/patches and then let rip with the flintlock though, right?
Restriction by enforced regression.
Not much chance of a MSSA bp rifle.

reloading gear was shipped on the 17th, how long u guys reckon it'll take to get here?

Pffft, that's post 9-11 paranoia for ya. I couldn't even get them to ship me some NFL T-shirts, I had to UPS them to my mate's sister and get him to pick them up when he popped over for a visit. Another shirt I tried to order, they wouldn't send via US post, only express freight (US$90 for a US$19 shirt!?) - sorry, you can keep it!!!! Send Ammo? You're dreaming.and they wont ship the projectiles to NZ
(Yet strangely one company did supply me an ASP batton...go figure?!!?)
My colleague got a softball bat delivered from L.A. in less than 20 hours once...Think it cost US$140 in freight though, that was like 10 years ago too...

Any idea who they sent it with? It can get pretty pricey for heavy freight even by surface...
One, two free, floor!
Getting stuff out of the US by air in non peak times (i.e. NOT Christmas) takes around 7 to 10 working days
Done it lots... it's all good.

Its hard to believe but its true. Only now is it starting to let up with a few primers and brass starting to show up in some stores. I didn't believe it for a long time but I finally got "concerned" and stocked up a little reserve..just in case.US run on guns, ammo

American bullet-makers are working around the clock, seven days a week, and cannot keep up with the nation's demand for ammunition.
Bullets, especially for handguns, have been scarce for months because gun enthusiasts are stocking up because they fear President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass antigun legislation.
Gun sales from January to May increased 25.6 per cent on the same period last year. In the past year ammunition sales have jumped from 7 billion to 9 billion rounds.
I will check into what can be shipped down under..but I would think brass would be fine??

Well talked to a friend who is a licensed firearms import/exporter. Very confusing to say the least..but if you stay under 300 pieces anyone can ship brass.
Powder, primers,and bullets take a license to ship. There is a "fee" for this...$250 US. Now you can put as many firearms and components in the order as you want..but it is still $250 "fee"...plus shipping of course

Be intresting to see what happens to an order i have for 500 bits of brass 2 boxes maybe ????????
at 250 USD ya may as well fill a huge box up i did read tho under 100 USD not a prob seems to be diffrent rules
one place i looked at ya had to order 2500 USD worth of brass a 1000 RP 45/70 was 500 bucks so 5000 45/70 or close to 7000 .270 cases ..
guess i'll have to play the waiting game to see what happens with my brass

The difference you are seeing is where..or who..your are ordering from on your end. In order to "spread the pain" on your end shops are no doubt trying to get as much in one order as possible.
Another thing is the state department rules had a major change last fall. So things have changed quite a bit from the past
Gary
In which way Gary ?? harder rules or just clearer so every one understands them better ..
the brass i'm talking about i ordered from the USA myself as no dealer here wanted to bring them in even then i had a power of email's to try and find someone who would be intrested in selling to NZ
most gave a flat no way one out fit said not a prob how many ya want
catch ya
