Have any of you guys seen Shooting Sports USA asks,
Attachment 64273
Looks like the future of ammo cases.
I'm long overdue purchasing new 9mm brass so watching this stuff closely, just need someone that can import it. I've contacted the manufacturer direct but need to go through ITAR permits
Looks interesting.
Would be nice to come home from a shoot with close to the amount of brass you left with.

Those 2 bums I mentioned did real well tho.
Ozzy won overall standard and nzfubz won A grade.
I was going to change my name to Mike at one point. 😆
Had a good time away and looking forward to the next shoot already.

Pretty mean hangover as I am still not right. But yeah, the whiskey didn't help matters. 😆
You can talk on the snoring. Took me longer to pack in the morning coz all my gear got sucked out of the room and blown around the lounge😆

Who needs to train when you can just poison the competition, worked in the rugby that time didn't it?Quote:

It might be a while, if ever, for me to be competition for the likes of yourself unless of course you develop a taste for whiskey and sleep in till noon every shoot😆Quote:

It really depends on your squad, ideally someone will pickup a good amount of brass after you have shot, while you have a look at your targets.Quote:

I always just offset the cost of match entry by weka'ing all the unpicked brass. Works great in South Island matches because the NI boys usually don't bother taking brass home.
Depends on what brass you pick up. If it's 9mm there is always a good chance its been loaded to major and its stuffed, hence why it's left behind.Quote:

found out some more he is not a distributer but will be selling them himself or through the company called arsenal Arsenal Gun Shop: Firearms & Ammunition. IPSC Specialist
Cool, was hoping someone was going to be pro-active in bringing these in so I didn't have to. Hope the price isn't too bad
So I still have to ferrit around looking for my cases to pick up just like brass ones and I might be able to get 110 of these onto a plane for the same weight as 100 brass rounds loaded and they are going to cost about the same as buying brass, so what's the attraction with them or am I missing something?
They are magnetic so you sweep the ground with a magnet and presto, all your brass sticks to it.
So you need to cart around a huge magnet to sweep the shooting area now?
And they're meant to be cheaper than brass and handle more pressure
