    Couldn't score a bucket anywhere. So I got 1675 rounds instead. Worked it out at $8.00 per 50 rounds.

    Where did you get ten from @Dundee?

    I've been looking for bulk packs for a while now, even stopped in at Dannevegas but no luck.

    Cheers

    Bastards said they couldn't get me any ....... I even bought some of their singlets too.

    Ordered some through the pistol club and a good job I did too.

    I bought one of those Winchester 555 pack a month or so ago
    Went to buy a brick of power point which I have used forever and they were like 99$ or some such, last brick I bought was 40 something$
    Wasn't till I got it home I noticed it was a different grain bullet as well 36 not 40, dunno how it goes yet as I still have 2 boxes of power point left.

    I think the 36gr is American made and has a smaller hollow point than the Aussie 40 and 42gr

    it will probably be ok as it only needs to hit stuff at 80m or less, I have other solutions for ranges exceeding that.

    Hey Dundee - there is a nice Stirling on TM at the moment - looks mint with a nice scope - the magpies might prefer you do an upgrade
    It would be cheaper than a new barrel smidey
