anser2 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Proper pigeon shells £43 in my local gunshop. The gun shop makes 10% profit per slab. Not so sure they were a wise investment. Droped just 2 birds for 25 shots last week. They were not easy , all 45-50 yard shots at birds that would not commit to decoys, but before running out of Rio shells on the same day I was getting 2 shots to1 pigeon average. Rio were £3.00 more , but did not get them as they had run out of 6s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottsy boy Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 i'm a sparky and i know the price of metal is going crazy at the moment a drum of cable is about 20% more than it was 6 months ago but with cable the price does go back down with the price of metal why do carts seem to just go up and up and up.

Andy H Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) It's called extra profits for the manufacturers ,Remember the last big hike in cartridge prices first they blamed it on the price of lead but the the lead market price dropped to below what it was before the hike ,Then they blamed it on the cost of fuel but that went down to what it was before the hike and then the blame fell on the euro exchange rate and inflation , Well unless the pound-euro rate dropped by 80% or during the biggest recession for decades inflation suddenly went up 80%!!!!,When in fact wage rises and inflation have remained pretty static and the gunshops/dealers only make 5 quid a thousand even now. As i have said on this topic today , I went to my local gunshop to stock up and he showed me a letter from lyalvale/express to dealers giving the excuse that due to the increase in the cost of lead on the london metals market they must wack another 10% on the price from April 2nd, and before some one comes out with "if the price of cartridges had followed inflation for the last 25 years we would be paying 25 quid for a box of 25 " ,We would not pay it ,And reloading would be on the same scale as the USA.

b682 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Local gun shop tells me that Lyalvale Express has increased cartridge prices on the 2nd April 2010 (by about 8%) due to increase in lead cost since october 2009 on the Londom Metal Exchange. So prices in the shops will depend on how fast they increase prices and what they have in stock or which make they stock. But I guess the other manufacture will follow in time.
