[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 57419, member: 1067"] Ageo308, I would only use the 1 in 12 twist if you intended to solely use the 70 - 75 grain bullets, as this twist would have trouble getting the 100 grain to shoot accurately or mabye even stabilise. I would only use the 70 - 75 grain bullets, if 90% of your varmint shooting was inside 300 yards, as they have a low BC and wind will make hits much harder past 300 yards. It was for this reason that I built up the .224 Clark in the mid 1980's as a specialist long range varmint rifle using the heavier bullets with higher BC. I immediately found that I was connecting more often at the longer ranges. I imported some 30 grain 172 calibre bullets from the US on two prior occasions, and checked several weeks ago, and found that the procedure is still the same. Individuals (you and I) are restricted by Australian Customs regulations to a $A250.00 limit on each order. The exporter (ie.Wildcat bullets) has to declare on the outside of the package what the contents are, their value, and sign under this declaration. Customs recommend that he attach or tape an invoice to the outside of the package. Once the package arrives in Australia, the Customs will write to you requesting that you produce a B709A form, and they will then release them to you. You probably may have to pay GST on the declared value. In South Australia the B709A form is obtained from the firearms section of the South Australian Police Dept, who check that you have the appropriate fireams licence etc. Hope this infomation helps.
