No Problem - thanks for letting me know - I just put them up at what I paid through Just Cartridges (excluding delivery costs which obviously I paid) so I don’t really want to sell at a loss I’ll use them at some point if nobody else wants them Edited October 4, 2021 by Downforce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find Just Cartridges the most expensive and that's before carriage. They charge £234 for 1000 Hull Superfast whereas Bywell are only £216.

JTaylor91 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I thought the same, just over £50 here for superfasts in fibre. Cartridges must be more down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartridges must be more down south. I don’t even have a local gun shop as such - a lot of the places I used to buy cartridges have gone by the wayside so getting them delivered by JC (is there anyone else does home delivery cheaper) or buying at a shooting ground are main options and I’ve found that can be variable what is available at shooting grounds As I said if nobody wants them I’ll use them sooner or later D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be near Grantham on Friday if my plan pans out and fuel exists But be that as it may I already bought the ones i got so dont need any more I already have more than I will use in the immediate future By the time I've just gone to Coates to just get cartridges if i wasnt going already it would have cost more in fuel And I had heard some people were struggling to find cheap (? or not so cheap ?) cartridges - so offered these up out of the goodness of my heart mainly to help others out and just get told I paid too much for them 😉 So where near Hitchin can i get plenty of selection at rock bottom prices ?

Look up the prices and delivery at Clarks of Walsham , far cheaper than Just Cartridges and a good selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downforce Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) So I guess it’s fair to say the price of cartridges varies from different suppliers (no shock there then) But I still haven’t found anything substantially cheaper than JC near Hitchin when the cost of collecting/delivery makes it cheaper D Edited October 9, 2021 by Downforce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you had a decent day in Yarmouth and got some fresh air along the seafront , not a bad time when the weather is nice . I used to buy all my pigeon shooting cartridges from Jimmy Ling at Hoxne , which isn't that far from you , but like us all he is getting older and moved his cartridges and customers to Clarks at Walsham. Now I manage to get one or two slabs from the sporting auction at Horners at Acle , these average £45 / 50 plus fees for the dearer ones and around £40 plus fees for the cheaper ones , I also buy some off the local members who want to sell some cartridges, if I manage to beat TIGHTCHOKE to the winning post , which nowadays isn't very often , as he is easily the No1 cartridge buyer on the forum . Wildfowling cartridges I get from Richersons of Halesworth when I have to get the estate some and that save me on fuel as they pay my mileage money, All the best MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’ll just stick a +1 for Clarke’s of Walsham, Nathan the gun room manager is a top bloke to deal with and the gun room is well worth a look if your in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfectly adequate cartridge for a good price. Back tomorrow for a hundred ABT. My eldest son has just filled his Audi estate with a gun cabinet and some of my cartridge mountain!

I dare say your lad would have several Grey hairs time he made any impression on your cartridge empire , he could even be drawing his state pension and giving you a look in a old persons home for retired cartridge mass collectors Have a good day tomorrow and if I see any shells advertised I will give you first option when you are back on line.
