Flourishing in favour of the consumer or the manufacturer? Competition is good and keeps them on their toes. 1 minute ago, matone said: Did Empire cartridges keep going? Not seen anyone with any. Yes, as far as I am aware. I'm currently working my way through a slab of their 29g steel cartridges. Quite good if a little punchy with small shot. If they could so them in a No3 steel then they would be ideal for the foreshore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I contacted them this week to see about a custom printed order as they do smaller amounts compared to major players. No answer as yet and the Instagram page hasn’t been updated for a long time . I do hope they are still going as great lads and good service and product.

No thanks. it a 2 way street. Theirs a reason its no longer around. As others have said the UK names are distributing outside of the UK at a lower cost, and are just hammering the home market with the monopoly they hold. why should they be offered any loyalty if/when another international company undercuts them?
