I cannot think of anyone west, you are probably going to have to head south to Glasgow and even further as the people specialise in ammunition are mostly in the middle of England.

Technically DK can be west of Scotland, around 7,000 miles west is my guess. :)

That is one of the funniest things I’ve read on here for a while! (Humour seems to have left us...)
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

I enquired at my local shop yesterday (click and collect) for club ammo as we have a number of shoots booked. “Cheapest” is a relative term now with factory ammo. But I think price will quickly become an aside to availability. He said it’s going to be a real struggle in the coming months to acquire ammunition.

We have just ordered 50k assorted rounds for a couple of customers and it was a real PITA to complete the orders. Also, prices are climbing for some cartridges with .22LR and .223 both becoming a struggle to source.
