Mike,

Someone has posted on the Australian Hunting Net that PTAs maybe coming down to 5 days for subsequent rifles...I think this is in Victoria.

But overall I agree with your sentiments and the future.

My main worry is that I don't think will we see future bans and compensation but rather calibre/need and you might have to sell what you have, sort of like someone who can no longer qualify for a drivers licence.

My hope is that expensive rifles whether they be Blasers, Mauser 66s, double rifles, custom shop Weatherbys will indicate "need"

I have ordered spare extractors, springs etcb for Weatherbys and hope to make myself as independent as possiblle, Also on my agenda is Richard Corbin bullet making gear.

The export licence situation from the US is getting worse. A mate of mine ordered some type of muzzle brake from Brownells last October and it just came through last week and the export licence was the hold up.

I am all 378 and 460 Wby and I know Woodleigh makes 40 million different bullets in 375 and 45 but I wonder if we will get to stage of only being able to buy so many bullets.

Can you imagine some terrorist in Australia ordering Horneber 505 Gibbs brass from Huntingtons

By the way, for those unfamiliar with Richard Corbin bullet making gear it is not that expensive unless you want a lot of different dies to form different shape bullets. You can also buy the dies to swage bullets for paper patching.

You can make the bullets in virtually an infinite range of weights so it might have some practical application for double rifles.

Butch Hairfied who is the main jacket maker does real thin jackets so you can make some good bullets for the big bores and our light game.

Mike
