Stimo22 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 They never seem to be good value, just looked and they have a offer on Gamebore Velocity fibre at £199 per thousand. Got the same cartridges at £190 at my local gun shop. I really don't know how they manage because no one seems to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really as they seem to have a good range but even for my lads 28 bore carts its not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just for the other side of the coin, I'll give a shout out for JC. Yes, not the cheapest but a better range than any gun shop, five minutes to order and one day delivery work for me. I don't buy anywhere else and they have never let me down.

sabel25 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just did a quick check RC sipe 32g fibre are £13 more per thousand at JC than my local supplier Also the RC 16 are again £13 more at JC than what i paid at my local supplier Must be to cover the cost of their new premises they moved to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that these have gone up in price since the update however. Looking at the RWS there are some hefty prices there. £15 per box for some of them! Overall JC can work out cheaper if you buy from the binends section, especially if you order with a friend and increase quantity/ half postage. Malmoguns sell Victory cartridges also the Europa fibre wad and are cheaper than JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW95J Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thanks, always interested to see where the suppliers are so send the name my way if you find out.

ChrisPCarter Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I've ordered a lot from JC and always been very happy with the service. Charles who runs it is very knowledgeable if you call him for advice and he writes online and in a few magazines. If you order before mid afternoon they arrive next day. No they aren't the cheapest but when you consider most gun shops only stock cartridges to bring people into the shop they have to make some margin on them as they aren't making money on other things. Delivery is £15 for the first 1000 and pro rata after that. They are bulky and weigh a ton and not many couriers will take them so I don't think it's bad value. If you have a local shop who stocks what you like then that's great but for me, shooting 410, 28, 20 and 12 bore the selection is fantastic and you could never get that choice in a shop. I work full time and am often coaching on a Saturday so it makes no sense for me to have to take time off, losing money or valuable shooting time driving 25 miles to my nearest shop when I can pay an extra £15 and have them delivered to my office or home. If you just want any old cheap 12 gauge pigeon cartridges then they probably aren't the shop for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW95J Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 There's a 36g No6 Felt Wad listed on the Angler's Choice website. Would probably do the business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
