Does anyone know of anything available in driving distance of Kettering. What have you... So am i. A certain stockist had a few tubs last month but restricted to 2 per order a week later it was £10 a tub dearer but all gone now. Word is there concentrating on ammo production in America and also it's very expensive to import now from Europe with taxes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrowning2 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Clay and Game are now listing Nobel sport powders as available but it’s £96.00 per Kg and not near Kettering but they do or did previously deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 They're a non starter at that silly price. Much cheaper to buy factory made shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Just had a look at C&G £ 72-00 for 1/2 kg of Vectan A1 😲 , Thats over a fiver just for powder to reload 25 cartridge's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no delivery of alliant for since last year but kept putting the price up on old stock. Searching now it looks like they've all done the same and stocks have gone. Its the same with wads silly prices and over inflated postal prices but now no stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 It's the same with rifle powders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsid Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Did you get fixed up with powder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Spoke to C&G this week and not expecting a delivery from Alliant until middle of next year. I have gone on back order for Steel and Blue Dot. Expensive or not the wildfowling guns have to be fed and commercial ammunition is not available.

sitsinhedges Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thanks to Roughshooter I got all the components I needed from SSM International. Powder at £40/kg, I bought enough for 5000 shells. He has shot and wads along with primed cases too. I also got 5000 primers from clay game. I wont be needing much for some time now.

aberisle Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 £40 a kilo seems a bargain do you have a link to SSM International? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkey Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 That’s a real deal I would also be interested in a link or contact information for someone at SSM if possible TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
