Best dust off the reloading gear then! Lol!

 

 

I can't make it economical, I want to do it for the enjoyment but I can't make a saving with 12GA.

 

I worked out if I use spent hulls from my superfasts i'd still be at circa £275.00 a thousand to reload a 30g / No. 6 Shot Fibre Wad cart with Maxam powder and CX2000 primers.

 

Off shooting in the cotswolds this weekend so I'm going to just pick up some Eley Pigeon Selects 30g No. 6 or Gamebore Velocity Pigeon which I can get either for £220.00 a thou.

 

Any heads up which is best out of the two?

most reloads hover at 180-220/k but you get what you want.

thats AS (at old price) fibre 28g #6

 

i got some down to 160/k but they were 21g loads and the powder isnt readily available.

are steel much cheaper?

Now after reading your post I did a very quick search on the net.

1000 X 30g clear pigeon £248

1000 X 28g steel £159

 

 

£89 difference per 1000,and anything shot with steel Is easier to sell on to Hawkers etc,just a thought BB

 

Now before anyone jumps on the lead v steel debate most of my shooting is decoying at sensible ranges,and to be honest when I've used steel in the past I found them to up to the job.

I just bought a few more slabs of 20gauge cartridges today

RC 24g steel for the wildfowling £72.50

RC 21g 7.5 for the clays £66.50

 

The 24g steel loads through the 20 are patterning well and killed some good rangey crows yesterday afternoon.

Steel is definitely up to the job

So the price of steel is much lower than lead and most of us prefer/ use lead.So demand for steel is much lower,but let's say when and if a lead ban should come in forcing everyone to use steel and demand for steel is most of the market that should lower prices further!

Yeah really lol

why the massive price difference between clay and game cartridges?

At the end of the day a 12g cart can only hold more or less the same components!maybe a little better quality but are we paying much more for fancy names and printing on the carts and box?

Yes we are the difference between 6 and 7.5 makes about £50 a thousand can you make sense of that.

I am using 7.5 ely jets do the job and do not jam the hatsan for £169 a thousand.
