Every gunshop in my area or around Sydney has been totaly out of powder for at least the last month since the changes to the dangerous goods transport rules. How is it faring in other states? Are they also affected by the rule change.
Any news on what will happen in the long term?
All the gunshops just say is it should be sorted soon, but one or two are now saying it could be months till they find a solution.
Powder/primer shortages

If WA has the same problems, you are likely too late, unless the gunshops had a big stash. From what I told, when some people heard the powder and primers will be unavailable, they bought everything the shops had in stock of certain powders and primers.
I know Brisbane has no dangerous goods transport problems, but dont know what other states situation is.

I haven't heard of a problem in Vic. Last week I bought 8Kg of 2208 and 1000 CCI 450s from the VRA, and 2Kg of 2213Sc and 2000 BR-2s from Pro-Cal. So if you can arrange private transport from Vic you might be okay. Both of them will take credit card orders over the phone. Neither mentioned problems getting powder or primers.

Hey Alan, what are you going to use the CCI 450's with
I suppose I might find out in a couple of weeks time.
Cheers.

Dammit - I've just realised why I get loose pockets in the 284. I should be using large primers .....
Actually they're for the club 6BR which has been getting rather a lot of use lately.
