Anyone know who sells NobelSport powders in the North East, Durham/Newcastle areas?

Ideally looking for 1kg tubs of Nobelsport GM3 but Vectan AS will do.

Thanks smile2

As far as I am aware Peter Lawman is the sole supplier in Northampton. However I have a way of getting Powder up to me/NE. I did order GM3 and AS last year and there is a flat fee of about £18 for weights up to 10kg. I have someone up here after powder so if we can either work up an order to 10kg or I can get it collected.

Anybody else out there after Nobelsport powder?

I can easily drop powder down to Co Durham area when passing, if anyone wants to add to your order Mike

Thanks guys smile2

It's a pain here in the NE, only 2 full bore ranges to shoot on and only when my club can get dates (about 1 a month if we're lucky). Same with reloading components, local prices for bullets and powder are usually way over normal.

If you're doing a shopping list I do have a couple of things I'd like, I'm trying to stock up a couple of years worth of components in one go to get the price down :good:

I have tried ringing and emailing Peter Lawman but not got a reply in over a month.

This is what I emailed him,

1 off - 9mm Once-fired Cases x 1000 @ £35.00

20 off - .44 (429) 200g TMJ x100 @ £7.95/100

3 off - Nobelsport GM3 (1kg) @ 34.95/kg

Obviously I'd be more than happy to pay for carriage etc..

I do feel guilty for asking as Jon has already very kindly done me a massive favour by picking up and dropping off the TR140 for me at Newark last month. :oops:

Ah - but ya never asked - I offered....

AND, will say it again as I have openly stated before - had NOTHING but problems dealing with Pete Lawman, er, correction - TRYING to bloody deal with him!! Gave up chasing him after well over a year - bought the goods I was after direct from the USA instead. His web prices are great - but not much use when I was not able to purchase anything he had !!

I can get the 44 TMJ bullets for about £100/k if ya have no luck with Lawman...

Thanks Jon that would be great, much rather give you the money than someone who can't even be bothered to answer an email :grin:

I'd also recommend having a word with Dromia for comsumables in the NE. His prices are competitive, service is great and he can get a multitude of stuff.

I'll get back in touch over weekend re Lawmans.
