That might not be the genuine intent of the individual and they could simply just be pointing out “if I wanted too”. I have no doubt people are doing this though… just the thought of it pisses me off

Greetings All,
Was interested to see that ADI seem to have gone from 500 gram bottles to 1 kg bottles. BM 8208 I got recently was in a 1 kg bottle. It will certainly help keeping up with lot numbers but someone using a .222 is going to take a long time to get to the bottom of a 1 kg pot.
GPM.

Holy crap!
Two and a half years ago I bought 1000 Fed LR primers for $90.
Six months ago they cost me $139.
Today I see them advertised for $199 (retail, not a TM price gouger)!

Just got a call from gunworks, my box of 7mm 162g ELDX has arrived $90 odd bucks yipee

They said only half of what they expected came

Yeah I think we were the lucky ones. Mine was $98 which is bloody good compared to what they are going for on trade me.

My local had 147s for $113 their not the cheapest

Can remember the old Sika Show. Rock up and buy heaps of components. Needed arms like a gorilla to walk out with your purchases but is surely made the journey to Taupo worth while. But bad news Land Transport are mandating a 80km speed limit for the whole of Taupo road.It took them over 40 years to rectify their moronic decision to change the give way rule in 1974. You wonder what those clowns are on and do all day. FITH.

I don't get why they are making it 80kph.
The road from Tokoroa to Turangi is an excellent road, had heaps of work done to it over the years.
Other than the very narrow section after Taupo there is no reason for that road not to be 100kph.

This country is going to shit slowly but surely.

Money and the saving of it, very few of these reduced speed limits that are coming in all around the place are about safety. It's about the lack of investment in our roads which is making them unsafe. They don't have the money to maintain the roads at the current speed limit so its cheaper and easier to just reduce it.
