it looks like the 70 grn 6mm's may be in stock but not the 125 FP, once we have a list I'll e-mail him and get availability as he doesn't seem to update his website very often.

Bugger didnt look that far across the page.

Cheers mate, if they are available with this order, then yep I will still take them.
If they wont be available, add another 200 x 6mm 70gn HP.

Thanks

ok no worries, the way I read it is the ones in stock are the ones with the x or y in the far right. I will compile a list after the weekend and take it from there.

Back again mate,
I emailed Malcom, he has no .308 in stock.

So 500 x 70gn HP .243 please mate.
And i may as well try 200 of: TJ244100HWSP .244 100 GR SP BT Extra Heavy Jkt, bonded core

If you PM me your email address, I will get your banking details off you and deposit the $214-20 for the projectiles, and sort out with you for postage, to 0830 NT.

Cheers mate, we will be well and truly over the minimum order for him now.

ok for the 4th time tonight maybe I'll get this post up, damm father in laws computer (I did use up all my data for the month) Anyway here are the numbers
Bimbo 300 .224 50 HP TJ224050HP (PM sent for exact numbers)
200 .224 60 Hp TJ224060HP (please note these are seconds only noticed this tonight so they are 20% discount)

Makrand 500 .224 50 HP TJ224050HP
Plowboy 100 .224 50 HP TJ224050HP
Stinkitup 200 .264 120 HP TJ264120HP
Mick_762 500 .244 70 HP TJ243070HP
200 .244 100 Bonded Jkt J244100HWSP

Yours Truely 300 120 .264 HP TJ264120HP
100 140 .264 HP TJ264140HP
I will send Malcom an email regarding these numbers and stock availability/cost etc. So long as this doesn't take more than a couple of weeks I should be able to get a mate up in Brisbane to pick them up for me and send them out, I am now South of Bathurst so getting to the post office is not easy. Is anyone in a great rush for them ????? If so it might be a couple of weeks befor we see them, I don't know what his turn around time is. Mick you emailed him how fast was his response time. Anyone have any questions for me,

Turn around time from emails was 5 days, that included a weekend though.

My order is in stock at present, unsure of quantity of 70gn currently held though (Malcom mentioned not enough to fill minimum order requirements but not specific amount).

I for one am in no hurry. I have around 8-900 pills sitting around in a few weights and shapes. Going on the amount I am shootering at this stage, I will probably start looking to be needing them in 10-12 years!

How do we sort out payment etc?

I'm also in no hurry.
Please let me know how and when and how much you want paying.
I'm assuming I'll be paying the price for 100 boxes with postage.
I can do Paypal or transfer.

Ok I have recieved a reply from Mr Bone. All projectiles are in stock as first's except the .224 60 hp's for Bimbo which are available as seconds at 20 % off.
When in comes to payment I prefer a direct deposit, hate having to pay Pay Pal an amount for the privilage of using Pay Pal. I will PM you with the amount you owe if you haven't worked that out all ready Mick you are spot on.. I was going to get a mate to pick the order up but freight to brisbane is only $12 and he would spend more than that on fuel.
Makrand you are correct the price is the per 100 plus however much freight will be to your location unless your in Brisbane in which I am sure if I give my mate contact details you can probably pick them up from Belmont or arrange to meet, He lives at Vicky Pt so it's a fair way south if your on the north side. Well I gotta go spot spraying for Tussock will be back on line later tonight.
