Doesnt matter now mate, I have found a place in queensland that has the wads im looking for. Great to see there are a few die hard places that import specific gear in and not just put up with what big companies are willing to bring in to aus.

Four, I picked up a press a couple of weeks ago.
Components prices should come down now due to the 25% increase in demand :lol:

Well you guys might be able to help me

Ive just secured two flats of federal gold medal target shells (they dont import them anymore but Im just lucky i found em)

They are supposed to be the best 2 3/4 inch shell for reloading 1oz loads. I will get some gaulandi straight hulls for them as the remington and winchester hulls are tapered and i may get powder migration. Do you guys have any suggestions in powder? It seems AP70 is a bit fast for it, they recommend blue dot, but AP70 would be alot easier to get....

What do ya reckon?
