I hope you took your headlamp with you! I see blackouts and brownouts are happening most days now...

would be keen to try out the .223 70grn and .308 165grn
I admire your initiative. Cup and core bullets will be mainly bought on price point unless they have some other comparative advantage like BC, weight, caliber or whatever.
But all power to your arm. Choice is good.
We are very fortunate to have Targex in NZ that really are a premium and value bullet but there are gaps in the line up that can be filled.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Got word from the factory today that there is a tipped boat tail bullet in the pipeline too but wont be tooled up till end of this year. It may be bonded too, or there may be a bonded & non bonded version
Also meant to get my shipping rates today i was promised, so hopefully ill have some retail prices for you guys this week
If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.
Hey guys, so i got my bits and pieces together price wise and the numbers work. So it looks like retail should be around $85ish for 100x for the larger calbers like 6.5, 308, 312 etc and for the 70gr 224 will be around $75ish
So now i will start doing the other bits like securing finance/investor and seeking retailers. However i will be retailing myself too.
If all goes well i will get the 1st shipment into nz before end of year.
I will also now contact people to NZ test the bullets for me.
I might put a post on here at some point asking if anyone wants to put in a special order of bulk at a discounted rate for the forum
Will update more.

Dive on in i reckon. All the stores went 'bare cupboards' for years in a row. Very much doubt you'd run out of customers
(especially if you stock hornady 6.5mm 143gn). The other stores might even buy your stock at some point too
i am keen to try out the 70gr 224
@NewbieZAR, I may have missed it if you said so, but are these bullets SUS-TAC? https://sus-tac.co.za/index.php
Coincidently, there was mention of these on the discord for Gordons reloading tool, to have the data points added to the GRT database.
Either way, keen to try out what you're selling in 7mm and .303
dont think its them...the weights are wrong for calibre...and looking on the list....unless you had a fast twist they would be useless anyway LOL
75/15/10 black powder matters
Hi no these are a new line of bullets, they retail in South Africa under the name APM bullets. Ill propably just use the same name in NZ.
In the past ive found it quite hard to get the copper bullets out of SA for a wholesale price that makes it worth it, last time i tried it it was with one of the other copper brands and once you add the shipping to the wholesale i was already over the NZ retail for Barnes.
I am going to try get some other manufacturers in though
