If I lived in Australia I'd likely use Woodleighs for all general purpose hunting and never look back.

Australia is a living economics lesson for people that think that the price of a bullet is the only indicator of its effectiveness. Double the price and they don't work any better. ;) I've seen Hornady Interlocks selling for more than Woodleigh Weldcores; Norma factory ammo selling for less than Blue box Federal. Shrewd Aussies know which countries to source Schmidt and Bender scopes to keep the price in line.

Lots of it is duties, but there is an element of gouging involved. ADI is absolutely screwing you on gunpowder.

Partitions are running 80-85 bucks/50 here... if you can find them in stock. Our low dollar isn't helping.

Isn't the dollar currently sitting at a 5-year high?


The partition is a pretty old design. Certainly nothing WRONG with it, but there are plenty of other options that work well too. I wouldn't be paying that kind of money for 'em when you can get woodleighs for half the price!
 
I lived there several years, and the breakdown of shooters as follows
Pistol owner - 1
Long arm owner -3
Ex long gun owner - 1
Granted, I didn't meet all of them, but a fair few. I lived in 4 different states.
Probably the ratio us higher in the boonies.
Just my experience.

There's nearly 1,000,000 licences for a population a bit more than half of our's. You were just hangin' with the wrong crowd. ;)
