Floating Chamber Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 i havn't seen it being passed on to cartridges as yet though35% fall since october rip off britain strikes again me thinks I think you'll find that cartridge companies have to agree on prices (for shot or ingots) months in advance. They're not going to reduce the price of something to below cost price if they have millions to sell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Scholl Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ammo prices are ridiculous, but i'm sure it's much worse for you guys since shooting isn't a very common sport over there. I remember last year I bought 500 rounds of 55 grain FMJ and soft point .223 from a guy and it was $10 for a box of 50. I think it came out to around $125 total. This year, the exact same ammo was $17 a box. It's not just the war that's driving up prices. A lot of its the Chinese and Indian companies buying up all the raw materials they can find and storing them. Though i'm sure the war ending would definatley help.

JohnGalway Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Last time I checked out a box of 55grain Accutip for .223 it was 27 Euro something I think, looked there again a couple of weeks back 32 Eurco something. Glad I don't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 The way it was explained to me in the shop on friday is that the cartridge companies have had to buy in tons at the inflated price, and until that has all been used we wont see any reduction.

Yeah but what about when they buy it cheaper and the costs goes up afterwards, they will be making more profit on it wont they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Only worthwhile buying in relatively small numbers for the time being until the prices even out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayward Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 bang on Bagsy theres always going to be the odd place that gets new stock @ a lesser price and keeps the price up !!! my local dealer told me to hang on as there next load will be cheaper & i have a few 100 left , i always buy in multiple thousands and spend a few $$ in the shop so hes good to me they know there going down a little but its going to take a little time to filter through and it wont be masses of £ off ....
