Oh how I hate stupid laws.

Better ban those semi autos too, Far too much crime results from owning a semi auto. Look at David bane.

I think Vern Wilson used to stock them when he had his store in Hamilton many years ago, don't know if his store in Te Awamutu has them but you could try giving them a ring - 07-871 5530.

Never got 'round to buying a set (was planning to, the amount of restoration work I was doing) so I never used any but, from what I've read, the secret is to overlap the tool on the bit you've already cut to ensure the lines stay parallel - at least 2 of the blades should be following the last grooves you cut to keep you on track.

Best of luck - restoring the furniture of a firearm is a rewarding experience.

I let my licence lapse last year - changed jobs and I'm not interested in shooting shit unless I'm getting paid for it.

I have the Hornady book of reloading and would like another one or two to round out the collection and give me some breadth of reference material (and a great excuse to spend hours in the shitter...)

Are there any definitive works I should be looking to buy next? The Horandy manual gives me a damned good intro to reloading and I have the basics of that reasonably down pat. So now I'm looking for more data type manuals.

I have a 270WSM to load so the manuals need to be recent(ish) to incorporate that, but I prefer something that is not strictly brand specific, giving me a range of projectiles, COL's on them and the like.

Thoughts?

The Lyman and the Lee reloading books are very good.
They are specific as to equipment not powders.

Get the ADI loading data as that seems to be a brand used by a lot of people here in NZ

Cartridges of the World is a ggood reference manual as is Pet Loads by Ken Waters although the latter will not have any reference to 270wsm. Its full of very interesting information.

You should come out to my place some day and just peruse the library.

I probably have 30-40 books on reloading and still look for more

There is an opinion poll on website stuff.co.nz today. It asks if we need more guns laws after the Napier incident

, it was not about gun laws at all

.
It may be an 'unofficial opinion poll', but don't let the 'anti-gun lobby' use it as a reference to further their cause

. please vote
NO, its not about gun laws

Good shit!

The anti-gun-lobby-Phillip-Alpers-lovers have been skant on comment.

Maybe because all their rhetoric on registration/banning etc ad infinitum would not have made a difference here.
