Vince Green Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Most if us are now aware that the dealer network, such as it is. is failing to be able to supply us with the ammunition and components we need. For my friend who lives in a rural part of Wales the situation has reached critical. Their solution to the problem is to get their club a dealers ticket for ammunition only. Their FEO is very accomodating and they have agreed that except for club ammunition no stock will be held. People place advance orders, cash up front, for what they require and them a bulk order is placed. This means that unlike before they can now buy ammunition, bullets and primers and have them delivered. Once it comes in a simple ring around and they come and collect it and their FAC updated No more 80 mile drives to a dealer who hasn't got what they want when they get there. Its a simple idea and its working.People are joining the scheme all the time. Would this idea work in other parts of the country? It does mean that one of you has to have the licence and have secure storage for the time before the ammo is collected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Haven't heard of this before but i had thought of something similar, a friend of mine wants some cheap ammo for his 243, i need some for my swede, we're clubbing together and getting about £500 worth of privi or S&B through a dealer early in the new year.
