adamskiseal Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I am hoping someone will be able to help me, I am after 100 shotgun cartridges (empty) to hold name places for my up and coming wedding, the eley cartridges I shoot didn't go down to well with the soon to be wife's colour scheme, I was just wondering if anyone shot any "good looking" cartridges I would be able to have, thanks in advance Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehb102 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lovely idea :-) Now, importantly, what are your wedding colours? Can you post colour swatches? There are cartridges in almost every colour so there should be a good match out there. I've got a few "Amber" 12G on order for a chum's art project. I've been promised I can shoot them afterwards for bearing the shame of going into my local gun shop and ordering pink cartridges. I like black. Black goes with everything and makes you look slimmer! But these are taking a while to come through and I'll need some time to get through them myself. It might be worth biting the bullet (pardon the pun) and ordering a box of whatever works with the colour scheme. Depends on your time scale. A clay shooter who shoots White Gold might be a good bet.

adamskiseal Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 doesn't really matter on colour to be honest just a nice looking cartridge, white gold is a good shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 The Fiochhi white trap hulls look nice! Even an embossed guy with a shotgun on the bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamskiseal Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Very interested in those cheddite shells aga man, would you be willing to pop them in the post for me? If I could get 20 of each that would be great, it might be nice to mix and match, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I checked in the garage and theres 80 empties, i will happily post them for you providing the postage cost isn't ridiculous. if it's pricey postage then i would ask you to pay for it. how many do you want?

Will Poon Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Just to let you all know I sent some empty cartridges to a PW member so he could make them into cuff links, I sent about 25ish and it wasn't cheap at all thorough Royal Mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Poon Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Come to think of it no..lol. But my condition was a small donation to the PW charity shoot which he kindly donated £10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Use My hermes, you can arrange a courier and i always find its cheaper than snail mail. I think collected for to 2kg is about £3, up to 5kg is £5.50.. doubt your empty's are going to weigh more than that. Because they do it by weight and not volume of the package it should be cheaper than PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have started to use these people, a lovely lady calls for the parcel or if i am going out i can drop it of at her house, loads cheaper than the post office, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
