Buying Projectiles Online

Post by cruisey »

Who is good to deal with ?

I'm specifically after Sierra 2300's, LGS is usually really good, but seems to be having problems getting them lately.

Cheers, Dave

Will be more a case of finding a shop that has them on the shelf, all the importers are still having trouble getting stock, I've had a Sierra order with the Australian distributor since June and still no ETA.

Thanks Keith & Seddo, I'll have a look there.

220 not good mate, although it explains why I've had no luck getting them

Yeah the LGS or distributors seem to cop the blame for them not being available yet I know some of the distributors order 12months or more in advance and the manufacturers still have trouble meeting the delivery dates.

I guess Australia is just a very small percentage of the global market.

Can't even help you with Hornady .311 150gr as they are currently out of stock with the distributors as well. :lol:

Had a look through the suggested sites & Magnum sports are showing both the Sierra & Hornady 150g on their website, whether they're in stock though is a different story :lol: I'll give them a call Monday.

Thanks Gents
