Re: Hodgson CFE BLK
No Kikky , not me , not ever. u good man with springs.
Reporting back:
Had a nice 5 minute conversation with Michelle , very polite & helpful except she wasn't able to help me , all she knew about in the CFE family was 2231 & a type of pistol powder. I was then transferred to another lady , nice BUT she's the one who orders the importing of powder. I didn't ask her if she was having a bad ladies sort of that time of the month thingo when she was talking to young Johno but she also didn't know anything at all about the powder in question , however , she did mention that they sometimes couldn't order in "black powder" because the shipping people were now refusing to carry it. Told her no , this would be rifle powder primarily used in the smaller calibre gun nut brigade. Very obligingly she has promised to make some further enquiries from overseas & come back to me by email. This was at approx. 11.52 AM Daylight savings time.
Sorry can't do any more at this stage - just have to await her response.

Re: Hodgson CFE BLK
very polite and helpful except she was'nt able to help me Talk about a contradicition in terms mate, you could write speaches fearless Mal our shinning light PM
Thanks for trying mate but I kenw it would end like that, honestly winchester australia would be the most hopless company in aus, when dealers are saying the same thing you have to wonder if we will ever see the powder or the new line of CZs.
Dinkum every shooter he reckons this powder would work for them needs to spend a penny and ring them otherwise don't complain when they don't bring it in

I thought you prided yourself on dealing with these people?

Re: Hodgson CFE BLK
Someone posted on my winge thread on AHN that according winshitters facebook page they have no plans to bring in CFE BLK, what a crap company eh, how good would it be to be able to tell them to GAGF we will get it somewhere else, but they have it stitched up tight
