I just got this update for those who had powder on back order :thumbsup:
Steve's Wholesale Ltd ·
ADI Powder finally arrived today. Its only a year late but better late than never!! Unfortunately its mostly sold out by 100%.
We are delivering all over the North Island starting tomorrow. The South Island will be next as soon as we get a private boat to cross in good conditions, more looking like April.
Thanks for the update @bigbear. Hopefully the 1 or 2 bottles I've had on order will make it thru. Did you get the 2217 you were chasing ?
@chainsaw I believe so. will find out in the next couple weeks
@bigbear - if your 2217 doesn't front, I've 2 canisters without a purpose.
If it doesn't come i will have a bit of reloading components with out a purpose :) but we should be ok i spoke to the guy yesterday i ordered it from and its just a matter of the order been picked up.
@257weatherby...mate I'd join that que
HnF petone have some 2206h just in, was for me but I found someone on here had some and got some off them before they got back to me.
I’m assuming a lot of powder has just come in?
Yes its in and its starting to be delivered to the shops. However no one is getting all they wanted . Adi did not ship the full order and its going to be a long while for the next shipment . Sorry to say that powder just like primers etc is going to be short supplies for a while.
I was told by a shop owner that HnF tried to buy the whole shipment and put a lot of pressure on the importer to sell it to them. Since when have HnF been into sell reloading components in a big way?. Talk about seeing a chance to corner the market.
Happy to pass on who told me if someone wants to pm.
H&F ADI powder prices are usually 10% dearer than everybody else.
What would a clothing and bait shop be doing with powder?
Upping turnover.
You are only allowed to buy powder if you have first purchased a complete set of their own brand fleece in the jonquil, gladioli and elderflower camouflage pattern.
Yeah as their size grows the bully comes out.
They'll be trying to get into hunting & firearms next...
Nope because guns are evil and they will follow whatever taxcinda saysQuote:

Whilst you are correct in that Steves wholesale wouldn't have entertained it, probably like everyone else they asked for more than they were going to get is probably more like it.Quote:

Having 223 & 308's, probably 243, 270's you are always pretty sweet for ammo or something to put a load together.
Judging by what's happening in the states the Yanks have looked after us pretty well. Probably because we are so insignificant our amounts no big deal to give us some. They could easily not.
I heard from a shop owner that the next shipment won't be until September. :oh noes:
Hope so! I was told december today :oh noes:Quote:

The shipment just arrived was supposed to come last October I believe.
I suppose we are lucky that this lot did arrive, it's been a while coming!
Funny. I was talking to a shop owner a little over a week ago and he said that Mr Tipple was trying to buy the shipment.Quote:

I always maintain stocks of 10-15 kg of powder and restock when getting close to last kg. Buy primers in 1000 bricks and seem to be going ok. Primers are the weak link here! No Aust manufactures. So take action if not the case in NZ.
had a call from my local to come pick up my 1 tub of 2217, was a bit gutted only one tub... turns out its a 1kg tub so thats bloody gold! should last me a little while longer
they brought in 1500kg of 2217
Fingers crossed I get the 3kg I ordered then :thumbsup:Quote:

Yeah, I saw the email and thought about getting some, but decided I still have enough to keep me going for a while so will leave it for someone else.Quote:
