    Only a matter of time, seen a few posts saying various firearms are getting difficult to purchase.

    @Ryan it is false advertising! I went into local as per the website, they took me straight to the Fiochi stuff and said it was the same.

    Just go to your local Farmlands/PGG Wrightson. They always have bricks in stock, cheaper than the chain stores too

    kiwi-adam where is your Fiocchi made? Italy, Mexico (Aguila) or USA?

    I had some Mex Fiocchi subs and they were the most accurate susonic ammo I have ever used. Would love to find some more.

    Only found this out on Wednesday at GC Hamilton. I was lucky to source a couple of boxes in Te Awamutu. I doubt there’d be any now...

    Rivers to ranges had heaps of .22 CCI in store today at Rangiora just bought a 100 brick this morning. But only 3 boxes of Federal fusion 22.250 ammo on the shelf, they said they have had a bit of a run on lately of 22.250. I was in to collect my Savage 22.250 that has just had a gunworks suppressor fitted. Can't test it until probably next weekend though.

    Did a stock check when I got home and down to 8800 rounds.
    Need to watch my usage
