No mate not me, I'd need to get an importers licence, register as a business & jump through the rest of the hoops that you need to sell firearms related gear which means getting an Armourers licence.
Sounds easy right
There are companies already here doing this like Winchester Australia, Barretta Australia, Nioa, Brownells Australia, Projectile warehouse & many other importers which for a start do the same thing in multi million $$$ amounts so I dont see a guy who lives in a 1 bedroom apartment & hunts a few times a year as being a competitor
Its hard enough just to get any gear here because of the ITAR regs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone remember the original ad for the .264 Win Mag 140 grain bullet?

The overall dia is not smaller. Only part of the bullet that is different is the point on the ogive that reaches bore diameter to the shoulder at full caliber we incorporated a reverse radius to eliminate contact with the lands. This way this results in the ogive of the bullet never being distorted by engraving. Goal was for consistent bc from rifle to rifle. The extra vel is a huge bonus.
SD will still calculate the same way. Bullet weight÷7000÷caliber÷caliber.

I figure the 8" twist Absolute Hammer will be about 220g. We will see, these very long for caliber bullets are tough. Our 227g Hammer Hunter is a min 8" twist. It pushes the 6x caliber in length. This is a magic ratio where dynamic stability becomes an issue. I think we will avoid getting close to the 6x mark in the future.

My 1/8 twist 30 Sherman will sure like these.
I have a 300 Norma Mag Improved, 26" Proof 1:9 twist shooting Berger 215's @ 3150. I would love to try these new bullets out on my elk hunt. What's the heaviest weight bullet you would recommend for this combination and what would be your expected velocity and BC of your bullet.

I will give this my best speculation as we have not designed the bullet yet.
The 9" twist Absolute Hammer should be close to 200g maybe 190g. I'll split the diff and call it 195g. This would put the bc pretty close to .245 g7. I think your expected vel will be about 3500 fps. Our Fat Girl (300 Norma imp) runs very close to 300 rum vel. This should be close.
I look forward to seeing how close I came!

Sounds like the CEB Lazer with the addition of the parabolic bands. They are under bore size(0.2625") until the band, the band is 0.2655 ( 0.0015 over on a 140 grain 6.5mm), then 0.264 " for the remainder of the short bearing surface. The .338's are HBN coated but same design. Both these and the Hammers are incredibly consistent in their tolerances.

So no real data on the actual .bc?

Can't wait for a .277 ~150 grain version that could take the .270 Win into whole new territory! Heck if I can get 3150 in 24" barrel with 150ABLR, is 3350 possible then with AH? Maybe more with 26" barrel? Would this be a 1:9 or 1:8 twist for .270 Win?
