A lot of companies profiteered from the Brexit vote and increased prices while they were still sat on stock that cost them less... Happened in almost every industry.

Eventually, somebody will come along that wants to move things in numbers and make a name for themselves by working for less but moving more... then things will get cheaper again as companies compete with each other again... JMO

It won't be Europe pricing itself out. The component parts will all have different rates applied and an assembled shell will have a different rate. Make it in UK from UK sourced components and sell to a uk market would be tariff free but why do that when you can make them in Europe and sell to a bigger market.

i tend to stick around the £165 - £200 per thou mark for clay carts , in that price range there are countless diffnt shells to chose from especially if you NOT a cartridge snob ,

what I'm trying to say is if the shells that I'm currently paying say ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, £185 per thou suddenly go up to £210 , I will just find another shell to use that's around the price I was paying , and so on and so on , its not a case of cost , I just DONT belive that a so called top cart of the same size , weight ect ect is worth paying the extra , there are many more factors witch will dictate how a shotgun shell will perform , but that's another story .

I'm quite lucky in the respect , I cant pretty much afford to shoot when and where I like ( its finding the time that's the killer )

but I wont get mugged off buy cartridge companies , at the end of the day , if they want to sell them they are going to have to price them accordingly ,

 

top companies don't make the profits from the top shooters in the country , or the up and coming shooters , there all sponsored . There profits come from us mere mortals !! and they need to remember that , and so going back to your question , IF it the prices get out of control us mere mortals will either change to another brand and just keep swapping about , as there will always be companies trying to pull in new custom , or they just stay at home a bit more often .

 

for a lot of people there on a budget , some tighter than others

yes but if your components rise to the point where its affecting your profit , you will be searching around for cheaper components and so will everyone else ,

I have a cunning plan which I'm willing to share with any cartridge maker who is prepared to pay for the idea to prevent this.
