    Need help with shifting powder from Auckland to Wellington

    Need help with shifting powder from Auckland to Wellington.

    I've just purchased 3 x 500grm pottles of ADI AR2205 for reloading my Hornet. (Following advice that 2207 is too slow for the Hornet).

    Is anyone doing a road trip from Auckland to Wellington any time soon. No real rush.

    Alternatively do you know of any Courier companies who will shift gun powder?

    TXT is best, but PM is OK too.

    Just get old mate to package it up. What they don’t know is in there won’t hurt them.

    My man, be interesting how their heads pop with the extra speed. Next time you're coming over to land of Oz bring me some.

    Easyily done SmokeyJason, I appreciated those cases you bought over for me.
    I haven't found the perfect goose projectile yet.
    The Hornady 45grn BEE are not expanding as much as I had anticipated at the low powder charges, low velocities that I'm loading.
    Going to try some Sierra Hornet #1200 40grn and #1210 45grn SP.
    ON, on.....

    Brought a hundred rounds of 45 gr Winchester
    As the other calibre wouldn't chamber in my big smokepole so swapped them for the hornet.
    Now out of six hundred ready mades I was lucky to average 1 1-2 more like two but these chaps are a one hole bug, so very happy there. Shot a bunny last night at 145 yrds off the pod. Happy days.

    NOT SORTED, BUGGER! That plan fell over....
    I have since found out the seller lives in Walkworth, not Auckland.
    Need help to get powder from Walkworth to my cousin Ian in Papakura.
    Cousin Ian is travelling down to Wellington in July.
    Is anyone moving around the Walkworth - Auckland region any time soon?
