    Cheap powder ADI

    I'm not sure if people realise but some shops are ripping you off on powder. The two big stores that start with "gun" down here in Christchurch are selling it for $69, Wilhelm Arms down here sells it for $55, standard price, not on sale. A $14 saving might not seem much but it does make the loads a bit cheaper especially if you are using shit loads in a big magnum...

    Sick of seeing people selling it for more than its worth. Not sure about north island?

    I think gunsh*tty is about the cheapest here in Wgtn at $70 for 2208 it was $75 (or $79) just up the road. $55 is a very good price, close to the NRA members "at cost" price. It has got cheaper this year (from last) so maybe we'll see some more price drops filter through, I hope so I use quite a bit.

    For 4kg, maybe try Wayne at Magnum imports in upper Hutt but shipping is $30min.
