I just had an interesting telephone conversation with a lady from the Firearms division of Tasmania Police.
I'm wanting to import a few empty brass cases from Jamisons and I was looking for a B709A, I sent in the application and after a followup phone call all was ok. But then..... they decided not to allow it because "legislation is on the way in", and "the ballistics person looked at the cartridge and decided to reject it because it could be used on Elephants".
I kid you not.
Anyway, I am now awaiting a telephone call from a superior so I can find out what the f**k is going on.
Bloody hell. If what you say is right, that is ridiculous ie imposing laws not even enacted yet!
What brass are you looking for?
If you are having this problem in Tassie, I'm sure it can be brought in through another state, and in any case that treatment needs "testing" elsewhere as well.
Also most "elephant" cartridges are well and truly suitable for water buffalo.
But the "lady" from Tassie Police has highlighted there IS new laws on the way in Tasmania.
