Question for guys down under..

[XTR]

How much shooting are you getting to do down in Oz with the Wu-flu lockdowns? I’m seeing headlines about another one in Melbourne this week. Are you getting any competition in?

We in Western Australia had a recent lockdown and restrictions after our first community transmission case in 10 months. No further cases were reported and we are back to normal with only contact tracing registers in place. Have been shooting every week since July or so last year I think. Was only a couple months away from the range. But we might as well be not shooting as there’s a shortage of Berger’s here. I’m sure primers will be short soon. Going to have to start shooting sierras and paying even more through the nose soon...

I think you will find they pay a lot more than we do for components .... like 180.00 for a box of 6br Lapua cases...... jim

$100 AUD for a 100 box of Berger projectiles. We need to open up better trade for the aus made varget and h4895 powder. Can get powder fine but the rest is expensive as hell. Oh well, could be worse.

In western Australia we are shooting our benchrest 500m fly every fortnight for the last 10 months didn't even miss a shoot from our 5 day lock down .

Are there any restrictions on making custom bullets?

Gas just went up to 3.00 a gallon here yesterday..... Just wait, they have to get the price to justify what it cost per mile to charge the electric vehicle..... jim
