    You'll probably get varied opinion. I usually send an email to the FSA at Kapiti and ask the question. You'll get a written response that you can present to the seller (if you don't need a permit)...

    Here's the SAAMI specs so the new primer shown is within spec. I'll do some measurements for comparison later today. CCI I have found have a wide range of thickness with BR primers out to 127 thou. I...

    The mistake is storing powder like that. The bulk of my powder (~11kgs) is stored away from the house. I don't wish to battle with an insurance company even if my powder had nothing to do with a...

    My last few CAC factory loaded (for NRANZ) had turned into click bangs. Very high risk of a projectile lodging in the barrel. I bought that ammo in 1970. It was well stored in my Mum's garage (she...

    I suppose if we can have an overseas entity like Mary Cabela we can have Shane MacGowan. An amazing man. How he lived to 65 beats me. Loved their music.

    IIRC that thread was one of the longest and most entertaining ever. Sales must have soared at that time.

    Our broker is AON. We went with them when FMG wouldn't help with some of our odd farm equipment. Mind you FMG wasn't the only one that was no help. We did get an FMG hat from them though :-) Who...
