wymberley Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Is anyone else starting to get the impression that -and excluding that which comes across the ditch - the shortage of ammo coming in from across the pond is going to get worse before it gets better?

They've just kindly written explaining how pleased they are with the considerate manner by which they've been able to help themselves to some more via my new over 75s TV licence.

mellors Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Phoned all 4 shops around me this morning. No 20gauge steel. Last 3 weeks it's gone up 20%. I'm betting by the end of the month they'll suddenly have stock again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Much of the ammunition sold in the USA is actually made over this side of the Atlantic. PPU is said to be the biggest civilian CF ammo maker in the world by making components for many other well known names under contract. Sellier and Bellot the same story including making a lot of the Winchester branded ammo.. Fiocci is huge too The problem for dealers in this country are fire regs, damaging and unrealistically imposed storage requirements plus punative insurance costs, if they can get insurance, its all crippling the market. Many banks have made life much more difficult for RFDs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rang two of my local gun shops and low and behold shelves full of 20 g steel cartridges. Of course at the new 20% inflated price. Strange that.
