Thread: Aoraki Amunition Company

@anderset20 What rail have you got on it? Is that a quick detach point on it?

That's a Samson evolution with a QD on it Yep

Anyone in Wellington interested in going 1/2s with me on 1000 x 223A? (55gr FMJs) at the end of next month?

Can do @steven, and perhaps some 308 too? Gives a bit of time to save up

Here's a few pics of the 556 55gr

Yeah I need some time to save some $s as well (so $262.50 each I think it is), that is why I said end of May. I just bought some RAM for my workstation, 24gb of ECC for $210! off Amazon this morning 45% of the price here in NZ, I couldnt say no. I also want to buy a new Gehmann parker hale rear peep sight and that is $250.

I have 400+ lapua match cases that I hand load for 308w so I have no need / use for 308w FMJs, but if its addable to the order why not. I also need to get a new range key, and I dont have a cheap scope yet, so a few things to do.

That is the xtac which they are out of, I am just getting 300~500rnds of the bronze to plink with and then reload. PMC is well thought of as brass.

Better get in quick as I hear it is not going to last. Rumour has it they are shutting down.

Where'd that come from?

Talk of it today at my club.
Koreans apparently not happy at them undercutting everyone else.
As I said, a rumour.

Interesting.....all of a sudden there seems to be quite a good supply of well priced ammo in NZ after drooling over what they pay in US.

Gunsupplies out of Rotorua are doing some good deals on bulk. Latest bullshooter out has Serious Shooters also doing some good bulk ammo deals also 1000 rds 9mm $395, 200 rds 308 win 147gr FMJ target $197.50
I'm going to have a bit of that....
Reloaders $675/1000 Hornady 223 55gr SP

Found the Barnaul 308 ammo was ok, goat-o-clock, but never fancied their 223, that other crap Gun City has goes bang is about its strong point and seemed allergic to small A-Cat mags.

I hope Aoraki keep going and would really like to hear further what their ammo is like, as lets face it PMC used to be shit, and would it really worth paying more than that for it?

Have found Hornady ammo to be very good apart from American Whitetall in 308, but hey that could also be a particular rifle thing as I also moved from 150 SST SP to 165 SST SP and it went a bit wonky, but also found a problem later with my base working loose (on a side note, learn to do all scope, base & rings set up yourself rather than any gunshop, no matter who they are, they seem to cock things up. Instead of being lazy and getting an "expert" to do it, just do it yourself and learn what is quite basic but so important to do right, its your rifle after all)

For the time being think will stick with the Hornady training ammo SP as it is MOA and well proven for killing shit too.

I hope Aoraki keep going. I can well imagine how some local boys bringing in ammo for low margins would make the owners of the chain gun shops get their panties in a bunch. There must be a similar dynamic with farmlands selling shotgun ammo for $15 odd a box when the chain gun stores sell it for $25 odd a box. Normally the way this sort of thing is stomped on is for them to complain back to the manufacturers and try and get them to stop supplying the parallel importers. This is all based on nothing but mt own speculation but I have seen it happen before.

There is another side to the equation....the cheaper it is, the more we shoot and they end up with the same amount of profit from us. Only difference is we have more fun....I guess also more cleaning products, wear barrels out faster....damn they got us again

Most people shoot fuck all. The most common ammo I see at the range these days is hornady superperformance. I cringe when I see blokes sighting in new rifles and blasting through two boxes of ammo trying to get on paper at $75 a box.

Well Aoraki said their new orders are due in June. Frankly I dont see why the Koreans would give a toss about NZ, now wholesalers in NZ, yes indeed. Would the Koreans care about some NZ wholesalers whining? I dont see why.
