    importing projectiles?

    is it possible to get projectiles out of the states??
    would save a bit of coin if there isnt a heap of paper work

    Cheers

    Brownells/ Sinclairs will export but you need a NZ import permit or letter saying that an import permit isn't required for NZ so that they can apply for an export licence. So you have an licence fee of 2.5% plus postage which soon adds up.

    There is also ReloadingInternational.com who exports.

    Interesting to read their export permit process etc, says that they are for you & you can't on sell.

    Appears to be 10% added on to cover export permit etc.
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    bulk orders this would be cheaper wouldn't it?. cant see much benefit in just one box or even two looking at the prices for the 6.5mm range.

    The Yanks think he is too dear to buy off domestically. I have to date had 3 shipments off him. Last lot were all 7mm Berger 180gr Hybrids which landed came out just above 2/3 the price of NZ suppliers.
    Currently he is trying to source some 162 A-Max's for me but don't like my chances.
    And to be economical off him you need to buy up to the 20lb flat rate box charge that he uses and then balance whether you are going to invoke Gestapo Tax. If breaking GST it is better to go well over rather than just break it. 20lb order would equate to 800 162 A-Max's but would break GST but landed price would still be extremely favourable.

    I've often carried 3-500 back in my luggage without an issue. As for mail order, you a forwarding service like Youshop (NZ Post) no issues with permits, just the additional cost of shipping to NZ.

    Yeah, Brass and Projectiles. No issues at all, even Scopes, range finders and a B&C stock. Just watch the weight and shipping price to NZ with Youshop.

    You shop would send my projectiles I ordered in. Ended up costing my 2x freight internally in the states. And they damaged the packaging!
