I contacted him about them by telephone, and e-mail, and telephone, and e-mail.....repeat every week or so for about three years: then order from the US
I only know of one RFD with poorer customer service....
IF you want Vectan, seriously look elsewhere.
IF I can find a stockist I may be able to save you the TNT/HazMat fees, as per the Reloder powder
Re: Vectan Powders
I agree regarding mr lawman. I am one of the lucky few who managed to get hold of him. Travelled 2 hours each way to collect items he told me he had in front of him. Got there to be told he couldnt find any of them.
Either source vectan elsewhere or find an alternative.....

Re: Vectan Powders
I want to try some of the Tubal powders but no-one up here stocks it and if he's the importer them they won't be selling much will they ,maybe time for someone else to take over.

Re: Vectan Powders
Lyalvale of shotgun cartridge fame are the importer but wont sell to individuals. Saddler, get on the case mate!
I used Vectan AS in my 44 Marlin but due to the problems you highlighted above I'm going to switch to GM3 which Neil Jones Shooting can supply at a very modest price. I can collect that at The Phoenix saving even more money

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Re: Vectan Powders
Tubal 3000 is a great powder in 308 and 303 but has become chronically expensive if you can get it.
Viht is way cheaper nowadays so I have changed to that.
I got a lot of TU3000 of off Peter a few years back when it was £50 a kilo.
I too use AS in the Marlins as do a lot of my club mates.
Its just about gone now so would be interested in getting a lot more.
Haven't tried Peter in some time but have always found him a bit hit and miss.

Re: Vectan Powders
After a very long time I managed to get hold of him and got 1000 .44 plated bullets and 2Kg of Nobel GM3 which goes very nicely in the .44, he's still showing it on the web site at £36.95 a Kg
There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)

Will do...though the chap I know that can supply it (local to me) is away this weekMike357 wrote:Lyalvale of shotgun cartridge fame are the importer but wont sell to individuals. Saddler, get on the case mate!
PM me with any particular powders you need prices on.
I have a mate that works off-shore from Aberdeen, so he can take powder north from me without any problems on his way to work (he has an RCA/pomster to allow him to do this for me)
