Nope.
Guncity say on their website that they need to see your license. But it is not a legal requirement.
And their staff here didn’t even know about it!
At present you don't need a license to buy and store components.Quote:

When you assemble those components you will need appropriate storage and a license.
Never brought reloading components before but am licensed. Wife is away in palmerston and thought if i can find a shop open tomorrow she might be able to buy some powder for me for a future reloading project. Any one got any ar2217 for sale, palmerston back through hawkes bay monday.
What shops would be open on sunday that's sells powder?
Hunting and fishing will be open. i looked today and didn't see any. The other shops in the area will be closed unfortunately. Dead eye dicks and feildings shop will be closed.
i will ring them in the morning, be a little while before i need it
I can tell you this is a bad time to be starting reloading due to limited component availability. I've run out of RL16, RL23, RL26, and only have a tiny bit of Varget left. I also have run out of primers. It's a bit depressing as I'm back to using factory loads for the most part and limiting range time.
there are still a few places with the ar2217 powder but been located in gisborne is a pain, just thought with the wife out of town it might be a good time to pick some up
If it's around and you can get it then get it for sure. I'd do unspeakable things for more powder and primers of what I'm out of.Quote:

7mm rem mag
Greetings Big Bear,
Depends what powder you are using. If you are using single base powder like ADI the Federal 215 is good. I definitely would not use the Winchester magnum primers as pressure tests in Handloader for the 7mm Rem mag and 300 Win mag have shown them to run up pressure without velocity increases.
Regards Grandpamac.
I've used 210m primers in 7mm rem mag to better results than the 215m primers in terms of ES. But accuracy was much the same except I had to reduce powder with the 215ms.
bigbear have you tried Andy @ the Hunting & Reloading Center (HRC) in Gisborne on Gladstone rd opposite Countdown? He usually has one of the better stocks of reloading gear/consumables in Gizzy and can get stuff in at request if its available in countryQuote:

Gunbits in Opotiki has good stocks of reloading supplies. Some powders are out of stock like others.Worth a try.
