Ferret Master Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 That really is dirt cheap! Were they bought recently and are they fibre? FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 That really is dirt cheap! Were they bought recently and are they fibre? FM FM, I am impressed you actually understood what he paid for them, I am still trying to work it out. "got them for 20 for 250" Does that mean he paid £20 for 250 cartridges (which sounds unbelievably cheap) Or, is it 20 cartridges for £250 (which sounds unbelievably expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) The RIO 28 gr no 6s are £ 34 at my local gunshop for 250. Great cartridges . Edited August 13, 2008 by anser2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 The RIO 28 gr no 6s are £ 34 at my local gunshop for 250. Great cartridges . £136 per 1000 sounds very reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I tried Rio on clays some years ago & they were ok. Bought some 32g 5's after & find no prob's. In general good cart's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretman Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) no he buyed tghem in bulk 10,000 at a place near skeggness so it worked out that for 250.this bloke is really cheap you get them strait off the pallet.do you want me to get you his number?? tryed them today really good. but you have to buy at least 5000 so you could do with a few of you putting in for them.

Cranfield Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks for the offer, but I am OK at the moment. I have often found cheaper cartridge prices around the country, but once you add on the delivery costs, they are more expensive than collecting them from my local dealer.

Zapp Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I use the 30g Rio 6's (Classic Game) in fibre and they are really good shells. I just wish that they came in 65 or 67mm cases so I could use them in my hammergun! ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I don't like the hulls! Primers fall out and they lose their integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
