Newsletter No. 38. Spring 2011. Visit us at www.melbournefirearms.com.au G'day Rice season; We are staring down the barrel of one of the best mitigation shooting on ricefields since the late 80s. Water is flowing in the main channels and water allocations will be finalised this month. Mid October will see the start of the action and the traditional Cup weekend shootingshould be memorable. Check our ammunition pricelist on line or call with your requirements. Got a bit of good news on the reloading powder front. In the last issue of our newsletter, we pointed out that Reloaders had recently been under siege by the Victorian Workcover people, who were looking at halving the amount of powder gunshops can carry in stock, The Firearm traders association & some of the Shooting associations have headed this threat off- at least for the time being. There will be a Federal review of these rules in 2012/13, so we have only won the battle and not the war at this stage. Bad news being that we now have to view your shooters licence & enter details of all powder and primers into a register as it goes out the door. Is this the new number 1 Sambar stag in Australia? Shot recently over the hounds by a young fella just starting his deer hunting career. Details are a little sketchy at this stage, but we will have more details in our next newsletter.
