lead shot soaring


Recommended Posts

Buzz I'm sure there are plenty people shooting over 1000 game shells a season.

I recon I'll have done best part of 4k And there is a surprisingly large number of people shooting 20/30/40/50 days a season.

I'm pretty sure Hull make more game shells than clay loads which (if my memory serves right) is quite interesting...

Yep, Ed, that's what I was told. Can't blame Hull though, if they're busy loading 4s into IG and 3s into HP Ext' because they'll sell, it tells you where they think our sport is going.

excuse me chaps what has this to do with lead prices moderater please close now finished cheers george

George you do make me laugh I went to the butchers today for pork pie and sausage ! Do you know what when I asked for a joint of pork he didn't say sorry you can not have that I don't know how much my next pig will be !

 

It looks to me more like you would like to sit on the components you have at the old price sell the cartridges at the new price

 

Just had NSI 28 gram 8 shot cartridges £139 per 1000 at gunshop within 25 miles of Grantham

to tell you the truth you hit the nail on the head if i can keep going on a sold order basis on the swag i have in stock i think thats good so playing out month by month then i can decide when to buy now lead is up this month and the price is dictated by the previous month average so was dear to buy in january prices so far look like been more dear in february so we have to watch february to buy in march and so on now spring summer can normaly buy as they say most demand is car batterys but i can flip a coin and buy or stand down i chose not to so will write down februarys prices and see about march now the other day i went to buy 70 000 into euros got bid 1.15 did not buy yesterday it got 17.50 thats 2.5 cents more making 17500 more cents which is a big difference in my pocket so i will keep ploding along and try and keep my prices down by watching the markets if in the end i loose and have to buy then they will have to go up a very big bit instead of a little and its the chaps out there who have to pay so i dont think i will dive it at the moment

if the butcher asked you for 5pence more would you feel it how much is a pie say 2 for a pound so 10 percent so at carts at say 200 per 1000 thats another 20 quid for the carts at 139 inc vat i suppose dont waste time on here just go and buy all you can afford and store but remember nsi make all thier swag but i dont know about lead powder is nobel sport their own cases and wads when uk companies buy we have to give profit on the parts so they have a bit start been the maker any way buy me a pie and i am coming soon for a cup of tea :lol::good:

George must be correct just looked on the siarm website and lead shot is now £4.04 per kg with the Italian vat added.

 

Their cases are also up in price but fortunately these days with the likes of fes do not have to buy from them, but they are a useful site for price comparison.

have they put it up to represent this month been january or seen wots going to be in february wait till a few days in february and have another look and see if it goes up from them maybe just put it all on now how much cost for transport from italy for lead on courier to uk been heavy i bet its not cheap eye tie vat i think is 21 per cent

That stratergy could be a very big gamble, come March and beyond with article 50 triggered you will need a very good crystal ball to know what will happen to the value of the pound.

 

Then also the risks with the price of lead.

 

Could win or lose, good luck.

yes but it will be the same for all of us ever heard of coals to newcastle well they closed the pits now we import coal well if we cannot make close down and import no good dwelling on it get yourself out and shoot summit instead of dwelling on these things lifes 2 short what will be will be as they say

i rekon we all need to write to mr trump tell him the crack on the swag we buy from america tell him at 1.60 we coud buy american swag but now at 1,20 its 2 deer then if the exchange rate shifts we can buy but the main thing the lead on the lme is dollar related so a better rate will afect the lead prices try that get a proper person to knock up summit and send it to him that might shift lead prices cannot buy nowt at 1.20 never mind i am away now got pigeons waiting and victims to try a few samples cu later
