Thread: Sourcing reloading components

If you can get small rifle primer brass, they are a bit easier to get primers for

Fiocchi primers I have had no issues in a number if bolt rifles. 30-30 lever does not like them so much. Seem to be a bit harder than others.

Thanks for the offer its much appreciated in the times of short supply. I have managed to get a fairly decent amount of RWS magnum primers of another member so in the interests of working up a load and staying with those component I have gone with this one.

Posting primers is fine

Supply of components in the Far North is pretty well non existent but I am about to make a return trip to Palmerston North for the CD Fieldays.
Can anyone on here help me out with possible sources along the way for powder (AR2209), Projectiles 143gn ELDX and primers preferably CCI or Federal large rifle.
I have gone for the ADI powder because it looks like ongoing supply of this brand will be better than the American brands.
The biggest issue is the powder, this is the only thing which cannot be bought online and couriered. Hopefully someone knows of stocks in the Auckland, Hamilton, Taupo, Palmerston North areas.

start with reloader supplies in Auckland they had some pick it up on the way

Last time I was in gun works they were well stocked with all sorts of reloading bits, wrong island I know but they may have bits you want. Ring them don’t try the website is best

they specifically ask you NOT to ring them and to order off the website.

gunworks can ship primers to the north island now too
