Christ they haven't half jumped up ??? 500 brick will probably work out cheaper, but as you say, they keep creeping up. Doesn’t seem long since most of them were about four quid a box. I picked some Aguila .22’s up for £2:95 a box last year. Also I came across Remington cyclones at £2:25 a box but declined as I expected them to be crap. Thinking back I should’ve given them a bash at that price. Quote Link to post
