CHA-LEE Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Has a match ammo supplier been named? Or how can I get ammo there from elsewhere? No, we don't have a match ammo supplier. We are recommending that you ship your ammo to your hotel (this isn't Vegas, I don't expect them to bend you over). If you need an FFL, I would contact http://www.ranch-home.com/kennewick/ in Kennewick. They are a match sponsor and I'm sure will be happy to help. Oh well. I'll probably have to withdraw, then. We can't ship from Alaska, and I don't dare risk untested ammunition, if I can even find enough of it locally. That sucks dude...... I hope you can figure out an ammo solution for the match. I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be a local shooter that you could work with to load some match ammo for you to whatever specifications you need. Shoot an e-mail to the match director to see if he can help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your case, I would contact either Ranch and Home (linked above) or Talos Tactical (http://www.talostactical.com/) and see if you can buy factory ammo of your choice from them and have it held for pickup. I imagine either one would be happy to do that. Ranch and Home is more of a big box store, but a match sponsor. They may even be able to bring it to the match as one of our club works there. Talos is a local gun store that's always been good to work with and have reasonable prices. May be easier to get personal treatment there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the problem is that most factory .40 is not loaded long for an SVI, and some doesn't make major. The "match suppliers" for the USPSA program provide the former and guarantee the latter. I'll see if Precision Delta or another supplier can make some up and send it up, but they tend to be limited in quantity to the matches they serve, I'm told.

walter hornby Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Try universal ammo. They will load 40 long just make you order their long ammo. My friends shoot it out of their SVIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, thanks. That was the other supplier whose name I couldn't recall at the moment. I just sent an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns_and_labs Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks, all. Talos said they would receive it, and Universal says they have stock. All good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmanktm Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I would like to thank the hard working EWPSA crew for putting on a great match. From this shooters prospective things ran very much on time. Never ran into a log jam and never had to wait long before our squad was up to shoot. Thanks to the ROs who were very helpful without being over bearing. This was my first major pistol match in 14 years and I’m looking forward to shooting some more, so thanks for that! Mike Czebotar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I really enjoyed this match and the stages were really good at testing everything. The weather cooperated and I was able to shoot in warm weather clothing after all. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this match possible and fun. Got to shoot with some really good people and saw some friends and made new ones. Hope to shoot with you guys and girls again. Now back to shooting ten rounds......
