As I'm finally getting a FAC pump, I need to think about slug reloading for 12g. I'm sure somewhere I've seen a good looking (european based) supplier of slugs and cases, but I'm blowed if I can remember it. Any suggestions?

Or was it the one based in Italy you were after?

Think it was the Italian one, though that's worth knowing.

Found them to be very good, delivery by TNT usually within a week, just convert their € prices straight to £ as they have a 20% VAT rate.
For some reason (I assume shipping restrictions) you can't place an order containing primed hulls on the web site, if you want to order them (which can work out cheaper) drop them an email with your list of stuff and they will generate an invoice for you, never seen any increase in the shipping costs though
Working on my last order costs were £39/100 or £10 for a box of 25.

I make my own sabot slugs, using the Lyman mold (the slug looks like a large match airgun pellet)
Very easy to do & very cheap too given access to free range lead
