The "cost" will come down... Not necessarily the price to the consumer....

just picked a load of badly stored cartridges wher the bases are rusty but on cutting open the lead is still free guessing a steel cartrige will corrode into a solid steel slug ? nice if you shoot it ( not)
As I mentioned with the one with the dissolving wad, they heat seal the top of the cartridge to make it water tight.

Would this not make the pressures higher if the crimp is sealed ???????

Seemingly not. Fired fine though my gun and everyone else shooting there on the day. It was a very light heat seal. Look up Eley VIP Steel for more info.

Hello
One good piece of news 10th Environment Secretary Steve Barclay takes over from Therese Coffey who has just resigned
Lets hope he has a saner view of the proposed ban.

Lets not forget the former lot where accused (and in some ways found guilty) or war crimes... In my eyes it doesn't matter which party they happen to have fallen into. They're all as bad as each other.

Since 1997 I have voted the same way, I write on my ballot paper "no suitable candidate".
Although I can no longer vote as I do not posses acceptable identification, a tory move to disenfranchise people.
