Salopian Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Went up 10% last week. Thieving ******** Oil price is down Lead price is down NOT up! But they are quick to put prices up and slow (Never) come down. They are so bloody stupid they cannot see that entries are significantly down. A friend is just finishing off his Hull Pro Ones his comment 'Never again, cheapies for me from now on' If we all bought Nobel from Ladds of Crediton it would make all the British manufacturers stop dead in their tracks. A friend was telling me that one shop he knows is selling Express cartridges cheaper than he can but them with 7% off for bulk orders. That is one hell of a good way to 'p' off your dealers.

tjsc Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I am only starting out havent even bought any and there going up!! What about starting a ''Cartridge Watch'' then tell everyone on here. We do that at work for Derv, someone notices cheap derv and during the day we fill up!! Saves a couple of quid a day, multiply that by weeks/months all saves money!!

Guest cookoff013 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 they still refuse to make 1oz #5/4 for pigeon bashing because it would be in competition with the other lead cartridges that they have even higher profit margins on. cook.

super sharp shooter Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Got a slab of kent velocity yesterday for £51 £6 more than last week :(. The guy in the shop said it was due to cotton prices more like profit he is going to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durham-laddie Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 It's always the same knee jerk reaction. Start a war, oil barons put the prices up...its not more dangerous to drill for oil, mearly an excuse. SOME, not all, shops are now jumping on the band wagon, and put the prices up to cream a little bit more. ...and they know the likes of most people will still shop there.....it's a big poo sandwich and we all have to take a bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaiyn Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 lyalvale 28g 7 1/2's at Northampton Gun, £151.50 per thousand, til next week. I'm down there tomorrow. regards Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
