Pops_Hants Posted Saturday at 11:20 Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:20 Morning all, Just popped into my local dealer for some cartridges, I’ve been informed that a price increase is due to arrive Feb 1st, on average prices increasing 7%. If you buy in bulk, you may want to get your supply in before Feb 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really shot up at one point, and have continued to do so ever since with no let up…..but it doesn’t seem to deter people which must be why they keep climbing?

Suppliers are pretty honest with their customers (the shops) who then pass the information on to their customers (us). I imagine most shops will place an order before the increase, it is then up to the shop if they charge the new prices or not. A good example is Barbury shooting ground, they sell all their guns at "old money" or "new money". The gunroom refuses to charge the higher prices when they bought the product pre price increase, in this example it was a CG invictus On 25/01/2025 at 11:31, TIGHTCHOKE said: Well I hope you bought all he had.
