price not a impact for me, infact the one,s i use are pricey but i find them hard hitting and shoot pheasant, partridge, ducks and vermin with them. i tried them on a recommendation from gun shop owner and now i stick with them. the carts are by the way R.C. Sipe. i use clear pigeons for the pigeons good carts. i like to stick to the same ones and never had any trouble with them.
