    Barnaul. Cheap, but shoots like crap and causes accelerated barrel wear

    50-55 a box is still a buck a round. You can reload for a fucking sight cheaper. NZ public getting fucked over again.

    Eh . That same ammo retails in the states for @$40 us which is @46 nz Once you add in freight/import dutys/gst etc etc selling them for $50 nz is fairly competitive. Getting the bulk mil surp stuff is nearly impossible these days with the US market still being gaga over ammo.

    Reloading will be cheaper but many people I talk to and sell to have either no time or inclination to reload .

    The states are also in the midst of panic buying. All their guns and ammo has gone through the roof.

    Reloading is bugger all cheaper, brass and bullets cost a fucking fortune. Can't reload for the price I paid for Hornady steel cased training ammo.

    60c a round without brass as opposed to $1+ and that's not using the cheap components. Looks cheaper to me gimp.
    Dillion 650 and reloading is no problem. In fact it would take a lot longer to drive to the shop than it would to knock a few hundred rounds up.....

    Is there a chance that all this panic in the states will calm down? Or will it only get worse?

    It won't calm down until that piece of shit Marxist is out of the White House.If Hillary gets in forget it.They'll be a civil war.
    The takers outnumber the makers now.Plus a million turd world immigrants per year. If I go to Sportsmans Warehouse when it opens theres 20 guys waiting at the door.Theres plenty of shotgun shells and non military caliber ammo.No .22lr.At the gunshow they sold 4 tractor trailer loads of ammo.The ammo hoard in this country is phenomenal.i myself have @18,000 rds plus 1500 percussion caps and 5lbs of triple seven.Plenty of 777,so I'll get more of that too.Sorry guys,we need it worse than you,WOT !

    I'm starting to see 55gr winchester SPs in the 40 rnd bulk packs again so there must be a lul in the American ammo craze. Hopefully NZ will be able to benefit a bit as well.
