    Haven 't used them for brass, though that is a great suggestion.

    I've used them for projectiles, somewhere between 18,000 to 20,000 over 4 years.

    Great company to deal with.
    Had a shipment that went on a world wide tour, Asia, Europe, back to the US instead of NZ.
    They shipped a replacement shipment acknowledging that the shipment hadn't arrived.

    I recommend them highly.

    Used them extensively until a few years ago when my consumption of projectiles dropped off to almost nothing.

    Only bought brass off them on one occassion and that was expensive as it wasn't a line they usually carried. They had to buy it off another dealer at the retail rate.

    They will also get barrels for you, Bartlein etc.

    I recommend them also.

    Have you had barrels from them in the past?
    Have looked into importing bartlein before and seems prohibitively expensive.

    Shooting buddy brought in, IIRC, 3 at once using Mike at Reloading International.
    I'll probably price it up thru them sold I need another barrel.

    It's always expensive no matter what. But then a Trueflite isn't cheap either.

    My last barrel was a Kreiger which I just went to an NZ smith for. It took just on a year to arrive though. Landed cheaper than a Trueflite.

    No, Mike Collings but I understand after many frustrations he no longer deals with Kreiger which is a shame.
    My last 3 barrels, a Shilen, a Pac-nor and the Kreiger I all bought from local smith's.

    Do you need an import permit when you buy brass or projectiles from them?

    Apparently not from a Police link someone sent recently.

    I have ordered from them some Lapua .284 brass but it's on hold as USPS has temporarily suspended Priority. I could do Express but that would take the total postage to US$200..

    You would only need an import permit from the police if you require a firearms license to own it, so no. (But you might have to explain that to Customs if they stop it.) And as far as I recall the import permit form itself seems to only be aimed at firearms.

    No NZ permit when I brought brass in but that was a few years ago.
    All the paperwork was at the other end - a declaration that the end use was sporting, and that I wouldn't on-sell. (How they would ever know beats me.)
    All easy paperwork to do, with the assistance of the seller.

    Once upon a time if you had a friendly AO they would create a permit for you, even though it wasn't needed, on the off chance you had problems with Customs.
    Nowadays they won't issue a permit as it's not required.
    I still like asking the question of them though and getting the not required response and hanging on to that reply should Customs be awkward.
