Danish,

Which shop cud we contact in Kanpur for 30-30 Ammunition. Delhi I know is more expensive. Here the dealer was giving a bill of 111.50 + vat @ 12.5% (Rs.13.93)..

You can find this cartridge in any of the shops in kanpur at this rate. As kanpur is the biggest market of arms & ammunition in easter U.P. so generally you can get things very cheap here. There is no VAT in U.P.

With imported ammunition prices at an all time high,guess the dealers are having a field day.
Even a .32 ACP round is around 225 in Del.
Cheers

Apex,

Try delhi.....remember seeing 6.5 x 54 M.S. rounds with a dealer in Delhi . Don't remember who but rememeber the cream and black color packet.... think it was RWS
Ill try if I locate the name... I normally jot down in my dairy what I saw where.

Sanjay is it .32 ACP (pistol) ammo or is it .32 S&W Long (revolver) ammo?

Some stocks of imported .32 wadcutters (meant for target shooting) also find their way to arms dealers, who pass them off as "the best imported ammo" - best for self-defence etc. Please be warned that while .32 wadcutters will work perfectly OK in all .32 ACP (pistols) and most .32 S&W Long (revolvers), this is NOT the best ammo for self defence! Buying this ammo for self defence is simply a waste of money...

For those who have not seen this ammo before, it is easy enough to spot - The projectile (bullet) is contained completely within the brass (cartridge case), making the ammunition look like a cylinder (of sorts).

The bullet looks like this -



And the complete cartridge looks like this -

Ammo was for .32 Pistol.Was available for Revolvers too.
After having seen the images you posted they were not wadcutters.

Apex Shooter,

NRAI is selling .32 ACP KF ammo for around 33 per round.
Rajiv Sahani of Singh Arms,Asaf Ali Road did tell me that KF was selling for around 80 per piece cause of short supply.
But after seeing what happened to the Astra on this forum while firing KF,suggest stick to the imported
one.

The imported ammn available was made by Nobel.

Sanjay,

U mean 32 pistol ctgs are sold @ Rs. 80/- by a dealer ? Strange people would buy it at that silly price. There is a shortage of IOF ammunition and most of the shops must have exhausted their stocks . But then imported ammo is available with almost all dealers. In Delhi 32 Bore Revolver Magtech (long) and not wad cutters are avilable @ Rs.175/- + vat and so is 32 Pistol by Sellior & Bellot. Thats a net price of a little less than Rs. 200/- but it is still better than Rs. 80/- KF and 32 Revolver short KF is available at about Rs. 27/- (including taxes). So wear you walking shoes and start searching the shops where u wud find the requisite ammo at decent prices.... and surely ull get it.

Am only quoting the dealers I visited on Asaf Ali Road about 3 weeks ago.

If you know of a dealer who is selling it at better rates,that would only benefit the community.

So please do share the details of the dealer.

Personally to save Rs 500 on every 25 rounds I wouldnt cris cross Delhi in this heat to look for a better bargain and waste a couple of hrs.

I val my time at a higher rate per hour than that.

Best

Sanjay

[art_collector]

Gosh dont expect u to roam around in this heat.

Mundaire: A .32 S&W wadcutter, or any .32 S&W round, will neither fit a .32 ACP pistol, nor should it be fired in one, and vice versa. (Even if that should be possible in some make of pistol or revolver.)Cheers.
