Hello Greg,
Thanks for the kind words, I am glad you like the 416 bullets. With the way that legislation is tightening up, we have given up sending parcels to individuals in other countries. It is always a gamble whether the parcel will arrive and, more often than not, we lose. Our distributor in NZ has placed an order with us which we are still manufacturing and, no doubt, he will add to it as we go along and right up to sending. We have found that working through a distributor with all the paperwork in place is the only way to go. It is most reliable.

Thanks for the contact, we will always be available for technical assistance if it is required.
As far as supply and price is concerned, it is unfortunately a fact of life that some things cost more than others.
If the price hike is simply excessive markup/profit, it cannot be justified and it is a rip off. If, however, the higher price is the result of more care taken, a higher raw material price because of quality/features, an absolute quality control system and so on, the price is justified.
If you want to just get from A to B, one can walk or use a scooter or something that else that costs as little as what one wants to spend. If one wants to get from A to B in maximum safety, with total reliability and with a margin of safety when things go wrong or become difficult, transport costs more. This is the way with all commodities. You can sit on a bench made from boards or you can sit on something with padding.
I was once told that if one strives for perfection, even when you come up a bit short, you are still in good shape. We will always do the best we can.
See the bit under 'Bullet Design and Q&A'. We have changed to a digital thermometer but all else still remains.
