coincidence how all manufactures are planning a price increase around a months timeReally they know in a months time prices will be going up, or is it their stocks not moving because most people have cut back and a good rumour helps sales
no surprise must be Putin's illegal war , the cartel will think of something !! i have asked this question many times , dose anyone know the profit margins involving cartridges ? and is anyone prepared to enlighten us ?
I have used quite a few Fiocchi cartridges and always found them a bit dirty. However, I recently got a good deal on some F Blacks and they have been excellent, certainly as good and clean as my usual Cheddite.
It was the F blues and the TT's that I had used, they broke targets well enough through 1/4 chokes in my ProSport, BUT, they were dirty, even with plastic wads. I went back to my favoured Cheddite.
They are also gradually killing themselves. There is no doubt cartridge consumption will fall and that will have a knock on affect to sales figures and profits. In a shrinking market place there are always casualties and I would not be surprised in a few years if this carries on, the likes of game bore or Hull may not be around.
I would respectfully disagree. I think its the mid market that will collapse. The budget and high end will always have a market. Hull's Pro range and Gamebore's Gold and DarkStorm will have customers who can afford to pay and want "the best" and the rest of us will have to do with the cheapest going.
My local gunshop has noticed this for quite a while. They stock quite a bit of eley and I wanted Olympic blues but they couldn't shift enough to warrant stocking them. They said then that no one wants mid range anymore, people either wanted selects or superbs.
