I would be most glad of the "7mm 175 gr spire . #2850", but I suppose the shipping cost and export paperwork would be a killer... :-( What quantity are you trying to get rid of?

Denis;

If you want to try to work around the hassles, drop me a line. There may indeed be a way to unscrew this pooch.

How much of the 8mm do you have (and how many bullets per box).

100 bullets per box and without looking at least 10 boxes, but I will look to be sure.

I looked, there are 12 boxes I found, there might be another couple buried in amongst. I will look more thoroughly if you need more than 12.

willing to get rid of all of it. New old stock. We have 20 boxes of the spire point and 20 boxes of the round point in the 7mm. There might be a box or 3 mixed in if you need more then 20.

Funny story behind how we got it. I will tell you all later.

I will check to see how much there is and if someone wants to figure out the mechanics, I am happy to ship it to anyone from TGC.

Thanks, Precision!! I guess they're boxes of 100? Shipping weight would be about 2.75 pounds a box, so say 55 pounds plus packaging for twenty boxes.

Let me get my thinking hat on - with FirstShirt's help - and I'll figure out if it's (a) possible and (b) economical. There used to be a surface-delivery-only mail option (the "slow boat"), which was not excessively pricey, provided the heavy parcel was not also very voluminous, which bullets wouldn't be. If that's still available, it could work! OTOH, if you get a local taker on the forum, fire away!

I would actually prefer to ship it to the lesser continent, for corruption purposes of course. I used our shipping scale and 5 boxes weighs 11# or just at 5 kilo :D

[strike]Assuming that they are spitzer/spire point hunting bullets, I'll take four boxes of the 8mm/170gr.

I will PM you an address. (as soon as I figure out how to do that.)[/strike]

Never mind, I just looked them up. They are round nose and I don't use that. Sorry for spinning you.

Unless the board preferences have been changed to allow standard members to send PMs, you will need to use the link to send him an email. It was set up that way because Chris didn't want people fomenting "popular revolutions" against the site admins via PM. Supposedly it was a problem in the previous forum.
