    Powder by courier?

    Hi all, first up apologies if this thread is in the wrong place-I just figured you hand loaders may have run into this issue before.

    I have just bought a reloading set-up on trademe which seemed reasonable value, so I am happy to say that I am about to begin to reload (I have been wanting to for years)! The auction includes roughly 400g of powder, a couple of loaded rounds, and a handful of primers, however, these will have to be omitted from the sale unless any of you could recommend to me a courier company that might transport these items?

    Its not the end of the world, but would be nice to get the powder at least.

    Cheers Jem.

    I have had powder sent to me numerous times from gunworks, pretty sure it was just courierpost, they wouldnt send rural though so I had it sent to the local farm supplies store and picked it up there.

    Good question. With the forum clan gathering at the end of the week something may be able to happen.

    If you have no luck getting it sent like you say it's not the end of the world. For powder , primers and projectiles I have found Stacy and Marcus at Hamill's really good. Both reloaders and got good sound advice, even got a reloading bench and press set up in the shop .

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
