Gryphon,

No. Quite the reverse now. I bought several hundred Norma cases (all there was in stock) when I worked at a gunshop in the 70s. Over the years I have only scrapped a few but a lot of them need FL sizing now.

The price here of new cases is around $65/20 so I put a post on a US website and found a guy with some new and once fired cases. Did the deal (at AUD US$1.02) waited 3 months for a B709A and they arrived into Australian Customs on Monday. A quick email to the customs officer that looked after my export permits for my NZ hunt last year and was told they're being transferred to the Firearns Cell in Brisbane for processing. So it looks like for around A$100 I have 80 cases delivered.
