kiffy Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 after pretty much emptying my cartridge bag yesterday ive just gone to fill it back up and on going to where i hide my slabs of carts realised how many i have there... i dont go to gun shops that often and if i go for what ever reason and have spare money i buy some so was plesantly suprised to find 9 slabs under there and probably the equivilent of 3 slabs in the safe i keep on top of my gun safe so it set me thinking how many do you guys tend to have hidden away at home?

flynny Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I buy a thousand at a time, when I'm down to my last slab, I go and buy another 1000, at the moment I have a bag full ( about 150) and a slab, Time to get some more in, Atb Flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzJo Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yea I've got 4 boxes of different size and load and just bought another 1000 yesterday then going to buy another 1000 tomorrow after work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I struggle to store more than about 6 slabs but that's fine as I try and buy 1000 at a time and sometimes buy the odd slab when out. Need another 1000 soon anyone seen express at a good price in South Wales? Serious clay shooters often but 15k a time that's about a pallet iirc!

team tractor Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Slab a time as I'm 10 mins from shop or ask the ex to get her RFD boyfriend to get me a slab when I pick my kids up. I bought 335 of a customer the other day for £35 34g 6's high bird .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I normally have a couple of slabs kicking about . But I only really buy a slab at a time cos im always trying different types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Slab of 12's, plus odds of heavy loads etc, slab of 20's & a few boxes of fourtens. And a couple of boxes of 9mm floberts for the rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I don't think I have ever kept more than 750 in and that was when I won 500! Run of the mill stuff is so easy to obtain so its not worth making the modest saving over the storage room taken up. I am not a clay shooter or a volume pigeon shooter so only really stock up at the start of the wildfowling season and 250 should be far more than I need usually, .410 I actually buy at a box or two a go just when I am passing Malmo or other gun shops or dropping in, I only use it for a little rabbiting and pests around the grounds and to shoot 50 a month might be going some The staff are more than happy to not turn me upside down on the price for small quantities of this tool.

Big Mat Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Usually have a few hundred in unless i've just picked up another slab. Wildfowling loads i have fewer off but i have enough components to load several hundred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Poon Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 As we all know buying in the 1000's is cheaper, but sometimes space dictates how many you can store in your house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppenwolf Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 That information is of course private. Nobody but you should know how many bullets/cartridges you keep in your house, especially wouldn't advertise this over a public forum.
