Lloyd90 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Looks like this thread is now more relevant that I last thought. I am going to stock up on some carts regardless, Clay shooting and rough shooting stuff. I need something as well for bigger stuff (fox etc you know) and zombies of course I am thinking either AAA or BB shot? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 My RFD phoned me yesterday to come and collect the order I put in weeks ago for cartridges. I use Llayvale Super light 21gram fibre for clays and they're not that popular round here. When I got there the shop was packed solid and still people arriving to buy. Mostly sub 12lb air rifles and boxes of pellets. While I was waiting for him to have time to leave the shop to help me put mine in the car he sold two £450 pre charged guns and about 20 tins of pellets. Lots of people asking about "how difficult is it to buy a gun, any gun at short notice." One guy asked me, must of thought I work there as I was propping the counter up, "could he buy slugs or swan shot for his mates gun" He ended up buying a Webley .177 pistol and 10 boxes of pellets. All said the same thing "vermin shooting". My RFD says it's been like it since he opened Tuesday. Is it the coming of the Zombie Apocalypse? Do we need wooden stakes too. Bloody crackers, everybody.

I had 3 slabs of Blue diamond and 1 slab of the Super Steel and paid the 1000 rate per slab on them. Then the loose stuff is a bit more, about £13 a box I think he said, and then it's about £10-15 for the next day courier delivery I believe. Should be here tomorrow.

I am WFH today and likely tomorrow, so I can sit here "in work" and still take delivery. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
