sitsinhedges Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 With £28/1000 as a starting point, where are the cheapest readily avaiable 12g plastic wads to be found obviously with postage having to be taken into account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1000 or 2 is plenty for me Maybe I need to split a pack with other reloaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 siarm will sell any number 1. 2, 10 or 20 whatever its up to you the price remains constant KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Think the postage would kill it for small amounts from Italy though. Ive just done a virtual buy of 1000 15.24 for wads but 13 on top post, so 28 ish its only a couple of quid more for 5000 thats why I buy that amount. 2000 30.48 and 16 post cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 It cheeses me of slightly knowing that I gave a Vectan powder barrel full of wads away for free to a chap who came around my house for something else some time ago because I couldn't see me needing them at the time, along with a sack of 12g nitro cards. Now I'm buying the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Think the postage would kill it for small amounts from Italy though. Don't automatically assume that, check. For our business we buy in lots of stuff from Europe and its no dearer, often cheaper than buying from UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majordisorder Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Is reloading worth it? Unless you can get the lead and cases for free I think not (unless you're doing it just for fun or not clay loads) Found this little cost calculator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super sharp shooter Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's not the size of the shot but the weight of the shot that changes the wad size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrowning2 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) It's not the size of the shot but the weight of the shot that changes the wad sizeNot always 100% true for example 28gm of number 5 may use a different wad than 28gm of number 9 shot it can depend on the maker/design of the wad and what built in volume adjustment the wad has. Why bring back a four year old post? Edited August 5, 2014 by rbrowning2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
