Cartridge prices


Recommended Posts

Gamebore Clear Pigeon 12ga 30gm No6 felt £210 per 1000

 

Gamebore Hushpower 20ga 30gm No5 felt £291 per 1000

 

Gamebore Traditional Game 20ga 28gm No6 felt £245 per 1000

 

I can remember reading about a year ago that cartridges prices should fall as lead prices fall.

Lead now seems to have dropped to where it was in 2010( http://www.kitcometals.com/charts/lead_historical_large.html 5 year lead spot) , but cartridges prices still seem to be rising.

Perhaps people are hoarding lead-shot cartridges before they are banned.

Are those justcartridges prices above including delivery?

Atkin Grant & Lang have an offer on Romagnola Fibre Wad 7.5 24g @ £155/1000

 

I've never heard of them - they appear to be Italian.

 

24g not the same as 28g - but would think good enough for clays.

 

Anyone used them?

My missus is working her way thru a slab, they seem fine.

If you buy a slab your going to pay than a 1000 price. If cashs the problem buy 1000 with a few friends. dipper.

These days, I don't know of any shops around me that give any discount for bulk buys. Saying that, I would say that shells are fairly cheap around here. I think the Clever 28gm 7 were £152 a thousand when I last popped in to buy some.

I picked up 1000 Hull comp x 28gms,7.5 fibre for £160 on Saturday.

Thats £4 a box.

What a lovely cartridge, soft as muck on the shoulder, bit like Impacts back in the day.

They smash clays if you point right ! I'm hooked, I'll be getting more.

My favourite cartridge is the hull super fast 28grm 7.5 £160 a thousand round my way. Also tried the hull HV pigeon 30grm 6's which are great and pack a punch![/

 

I think you will find the super fast are in fact 27gm. http://www.hullcartridge.co.uk/superfast.htm

 

Not that 1gm is significant or is it?

 

Indeed you are correct lol

never tested it, but i still need to get around to patterning my shotguns- never done it since i bought them!
