dodeer Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Guys, the prices of cartridges are going to rise up £10-£30 per 1000 in the next month. That meens a 30g f/w 6 shot will be around £140 per 1000. Plastic is going up in £ along with lead, this will mean plastic will now be as expensive as fbre wads. Do take my word for it, this has come from a Gameboe rep, and various gun shops. Buy a few thousand now is my advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 You obviously don't fire many cartridges then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squintshot Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I've got enough to do me for what I need and if I need more I go and buy what I need no point in having thousands upon thousands of the things cluttering up the house. All the prices can go down as well as up, are cartridges not cheaper now than at any point in recent history anyway??? Squint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squintshot Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Must be quite something Martin, to be abel to go to Asda and along side the the crisps and beans you quietly slip a few boxes of your chosen ammo in the trolley. Pack it without the wife seeing then off out to use it all!!! Squint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussex lad Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 On recent trip to orlando i visted a store called Outdoor World ( HEAVEN ) This place was the size of a B&Q superstore and stocked everything you could ever possibly want and some.Hunting,camping ,boating and well everything. It was actually quite unnerveing to walk down an isle with every type of ammo you can think of just there within arms reach and to see people filling there trolleys with the stuff! and i mean filling. The prices would make you cry!So quite rightly i filled my trolley high with lots of goodies(stuff that your aloud to bring back)and that would fit in the cases coming home . Luckly we had been before and had learnt our lesson and packed lite so we had plenty of room . Try the web site www.basspro.com Even paying the shipping ,uk tax etc it is still cheaper than RIPOFF UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
