The Aussie (Ammo) is Coming!

[nemo97]

So what bullet would you use for 'roo hunting?

Whatever you'd use for deer. Grays are tasty like deer.

Humm interesting. Like some of you said, hope we can get some before the jack wagons get it and try n sell at bend over prices.

How ironic that Americans are getting ammo for their semi-auto rifles, from a country where all such rifles are illegal for ordinary citizens.

I was thinking the same thing.

My guess is this will be top shelf ammo. Looks like a Varget loaded cartridge lets see what the pricing is.

Just had some show up at my door step today. Back ordered some from sportsman's guide in January. Wasn't supposed to be here till July so it was a nice surprise.

What did u pay and how much did u get?

Huh? You've got to jump through hoops but you can buy an AR in Australia.

Not cheap but not illegal.

Homepage : Acme Firearms

Home defense is a valid reason for a permit to own an AR in Australia. Hunting is another. They've got no barrel length requirements either. If you want a 7.5" AR in .223 and can afford it, you're good to go.

New - Australian made semi-auto M4 - $8,750

Ooouuch !!!!! That's almost $9K US

I got 900 rds for 379. A little hight but not bad in this market.

Just saw some today at Wanamaker Guns. Looked nice.... Except for his price $675/900 rounds. Comes in a .50 cal can and blister packed in 50 round layers. It was green tip. He wouldn't even talk about a cash price. He had 9mm too. Aguila FMJ or JHP for $23 a box. $459 for 1000/round case. I'm not hurting that bad so I passed.

 

[msirelan]

where did you order your 900 rounds from and was it 308 or 223

 

[Cavman]

I got it from sportsmans guide. I had back ordered it. It was not even supposed to be in till July.

 

[Cavman]

And it was 556

 

[Shibby575]

I do believe that the temperature tolerant powder they are speaking of is at least a sister product to Varget. Varget in the USA is actually Yarded powder down under. The Link Kirk posted talks about Sierra bullets, both MatchKings and GameKings. Both of those bullets are very accurate. Great powder, Great bullets, it would really be hard to screw up that combination. It will probably shoot like Federal Gold Medal Match. I hope to see some this summer.
