Recent shooting in periods of extreme heat has identified performance concerns affecting the current batch of Imperial issued ammunition. Feedback to date also indicates the ammunition performs to expected standards in cooler conditions.

Investigations are underway and further testing, including trials of other ammunition are scheduled this week.

We understand the importance of resolving this promptly and are working closely with all those involved to identify a practical solution before the commencement of the TR Imperial. We appreciate your patience as we identify the causes and a workable solution.

Further updates will be communicated as soon as information becomes available.
