TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 I phoned several of our local stockists this morning seeking 12 bore cartridges for clays. Only to be told that they were waiting for Hull, Eley Gamebore or Fiocchi to deliver. I called the most local, spoke to my old FEO and secured several thousand Hull and Gamebore cartridges. Just been round to collect them and emptied the shelves of all the budget offerings. Seems that cartridges like everything else is either in short supply, more expensive or both.

matone Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 I`ve heard that most production capacity of powders and components has been channelled to military purposes across Europe due to the current unpleasantness . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny English Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Could be that production has been channeled recently into game cartridge production ready for start of the season, may find that clay cartridges come available again shortly once they've got the game loads out the door.

Possibly, so you are suggesting the manufacturers were surprised by the approaching game season and that clay shooting doesn't go on all year?
