Shotkam Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 As my local supplier carries very little stock these days, I will have to order online. Cartridges always cost me £15 / 1000, but I am not sure of the charges to expect for powder, shot and consumables. Any indication of cost would be most welcome.

Gas seal Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi the delivery charge for shot will be by the weight. Powder and primers you will have to ask the supplier. What part of the country are you ,l think clay and game have suppliers ,and Folkestone engineering will ‘drop’ supply’s off for you. I noticed you are looking for bio wads in the wanted section. I can’t reply in that section. I have been looking for bio wads in 28gauge with no luck. Are you loading lead or steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotkam Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 South West and knowone has decent stocks. Loading lead right now as no bio shot cups either available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas seal Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 There are a few bio wad cartridges available in 12gauge lead and steel. I have on order Eley 20g bio Steel cartridges. I did use Eley 20gauge Steel l found them a lot quieter than other brands, better for shooting pigeons, I hope the bio ones are as quiet. I don’t think it will be long before bio wads in small gauge will be available. Folkestone engineering have loading data for the powder they stock. You could ask if anyone who reloads in your area that can help you out, I’m a bit far in the north west. Good luck with your powder lm sure someone will get sorted.

HW95J Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Powder is a difficult one to get delivered, somewhere local enough might drop it off. Primers will be £10-15 delivery. Folkstone do hazardous delivery up to 20kg for around £10 so you can buy shot alongside the primers etc and only pay the one delivery fee.

Thanks for you reply and GASSEAL also - missed them in the week. Planning on ordering 30kg lead shot and some powder etc. etc and you all say, plan well and buy as one consignment to save on carriage. Just need the time to put to reloading now and sourcing some new recipe's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t like to be a kill joy, but Folkestone engineer does not deliver powder unless he is out and about and deliveries it in person, looking at his website he is at Bisley on the 24th.
