Redgum Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Bought a stack of pigeon cartridges a couple of years ago, not done so much over the last year but now getting to the end of them, kent velocities. Just called my local Rfd and they are quoting £200 per 1000 for Hull pigeon 28gram, alot more for 30/32gram. Not really moaning if prices are still rising but just checking with you guys to see if its worth shopping around, oh, I'm in Gloucestershire.

lakeside1000 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I bought some hull 28 gm, 6's in January for £180 a 1000, but just got a price today for some more and was quoted £220 , can't believe it, going to shop around myself , in the meantime i'm using up some 7.5 24 gm steels , ok but a bit short on range, only paid £130 a 1000 for them so cheap shooting if you can get up close and personal with the pigeons.

JBS Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I know they have just put their prices up on 27g 7 1/2s (fibres) I was told the same, they said they had just ordered the last 30,000 and the price was going up 10%. Amazingly they charged the higher price for the old stock and couldn't understand why we were annoyed about paying new price for old stock!

Guest cookoff013 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 some of the prices you guys are quoting are where it is viable to reload. dont be sucked in to the 27 / 29 / 31 gram bull. cartridge manufacturers are just screwing around. the removal of 1gram of shot is littereally nothing when comparing patterns downrange. if they are cheaper, so be it and go get some. the point on where it is viable to reload is about £200/k and thats for 32g / 28g loads. and thats for the 12gauge too.

Guest cookoff013 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm still loading for £120/K yes FC, but not everyone has access to the skills and patience for dropping shot. i in my bargain hunting managed that once, (130/k) but that was because a whole heap of lead just dropped in my lap very cheap.

super sharp shooter Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) yes FC, but not everyone has access to the skills and patience for dropping shot. i in my bargain hunting managed that once, (130/k) but that was because a whole heap of lead just dropped in my lap very cheap. Even with making my own shot at £1.30per kg I cant get close to that.

sitsinhedges Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Even with making my own shot at £1.30per kg I cant get close to that.
