I live in Oz and you can get pretty much all popular pistol ammo here. Not really 380 auto because it isn't legal for us to own the small pistols that it is usually chambered in. And nothing over 45 cal because once again over .45 isn't legal because the powers that be felt that .50 cal is so much more dangerous than 9mm....who knows what they are thinking. but 357mag, 44 mag and all those there is plenty of. can't say i've seen a huge amount of 40S&W but i've definately seen new unprimed brass so i'm assuming it's out there.
