Pellet prices

[migmog 1]

i look at it this way £10-£15 for a tin of pellets is on the costly side yes but i would be well out of pocket if i was paying for dog food and ferret food

 

my pellets pay for them self over and over and keep the freezer full and the dogs and ferrets happy so i cant moan about the price and i always get asked for rabbits i charge £2 a piece so if you cant shoot 5 rabbits with 500 pellets i think you might be doing the wrong sport

That's a fair point you got there but im talking principle as much as any thing else. The same guy got a whole batch of bad AA fields in not to long back, nearly all the skirts where damaged and the pellets went everywhere. I went and got him to open 3 tins from stright under the counter and they where all the same but he didnt send them back for a new batch! This shop also sells fishing takle and he does a lot of carping. Now if all the carping lad where complaining about korda hooks being bent or blunt id like to bet he'd send them back for a new batch as carping is very popular round here and hes the only fishing takle shop for miles. If i have to pay top wack for my goods i want a top service and after sales but this is not the case!!

I've found that if you can plan ahead a little, you can get some really good prices off eBay! Think I paid £15 for 3 tins of 500 RWS super H point in .22, loads less than you would pay in the shops!

Def being ripped off as Phantom says the price of lead has dropped but we will never benifit from it!

Prices of pellets and cartridges are a complete joke!!!

 

Some of us must remember the potato 'shortage' many moons ago?

6 pence worth of chips was a huge bag prior to that then they got 'rationed'!

Once the shortage was over chips were still a tanner but the portions stayed at ration sizes!

 

We are a country of fec##ig mugs!

I've not used them, but a friend of mine has when he did his Safe & Sucessful Airgunning DVD's.

Not sure if it was an Endorsement for Webley, but he used them in the DVD to bloody good effect :notworthy:

They grouped well in the rifle that he was using, and the bunnies, woodies, squizzers and maggies all went down never to get up again
