Cheaper shotgun cartriges

#1 Post by the running man »

I heard from someone at the weekend and when I see him again I shall ask him where it came from, but seemed sure that hatsan or some turkish outfit would soon be bringing in lots of 12g cartridges hell of a lot cheaper than we are all paying now....has anyone else heard this?

I haven't but assuming they aren't junk, what will likely happen is some big outfit will buy them all up and then sell them for a significantly higher price. Whether or not than higher price will be competitive still for the market is another thing. Something similar happened with huge consignment of large rifle and small pistol primers in 2022/23 troutslapping

Hello
I often wonder how shooting sports continues with all this money grabbing crap going on, not withstanding the difficulties getting any stuff at all, No powder, No Primers, No Bullets. The only thing there is no shortage of is Government regulations !
