Looking at the bid increases and the timings, that wasn't even the winner's maximum he was prepared to pay...A bit of testosterone involved methinks........

I've been importing projectiles for my own use as a target shooter.
I've never paid anywhere near that much for projectiles, including currency exchange, freight and duty (if any).
Can't get my head around the rationale behind paying so much for the 6.5 ELD-X projectiles specifically. You'd think people have forgotten how to use a 308 or a 270 and that other 6.5 bullets must just bounce off of deer.
Is a Creedmoor really 3x as good as the next best thing provided you can feed it semi fancy red tipped bullets (let's be honest, they aren't bergers)?
Can you import projectiles? Do you need a permit?Quote:

The pertinent question then is, are bullets 'ammunition'? I'd say yes, but I wonder if Police might say that only assembled bullets/cases/powder/primer is "ammunition".

To quote Wiki “Ammunition (informally ammo) is the material fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon or weapon system. Ammunition is both expendable weapons (e.g., bombs, missiles, grenades, land mines) and the component parts of other weapons that create the effect on a target (e.g., BULLETS and warheads).[1] Nearly all mechanical weapons require some form of ammunition to operate”.
Dam it

Well its not out the gate for premium projectiles but these are just ordinary ol hornadys!Quote:

Say E-L-D-X like a US Marine squad on a training run. Out loud. With people around. Go on, I dare you.
E-L-D-X
Sorry, it's been a long day. The world's gone nuts.
I'd be measuring my new E-L-D-X by the way, because the last batch of ELD-Ms I got were way out of spec (ogive) compared to the previous ones.
Wouldn't want to be buying a Covid Tesla that's for sure.
I worry that other retailers look at this and get ideas.
Well yeh, this what happens when sport, activity, or pastime suddenly gets trendy.
A few come to mind powder already had a bit of a. Price bump recently in a few expected placesQuote:

Of course there aren't many projectiles to buy in the US at the moment.
It isn't illegal to own projectiles, cases, powder or primers without a FAL.
Only when you add primer, powder and projectile to a case do you need a FAL.
But cant you buy it from the stores for just over $100?
Pretty sure under trump they changed the rules and it's a higher limit now.Quote:

Guy selling 100x 129sst or 100x 123eldms for $250 a box...jesus
It's been happening in the states for a while in areas. It was only a matter of time before it happens here. I've stocked up pretty good but could definitely use some more powder and projectiles.Quote:
