Blame Marie le pen.I noticed that mary arm have increased the prices of their cartridges by about €20 per thousand so on the way up down here too This is the first price rise I have seen but must assume that other makes will follow suit.
Yes it makes no sense whatsoever , should be about £12... in fact the 28g carts should possibly be even cheaper because of economies of scale there must be at least ten 28g carts fired for every one 21g cartridge. The lead price has gone up quite a lot over the past few months BUT if you look at the five year graph lead prices now are about the same as the were three years ago BUT the pound has lost about 22% of its value vs the dollar in that time.Just cartridges Hull Comp X Plastics 21 gram £169 per thousand , 28gram £187 = £18 for 7kg of lead ?
Lead is not the only component subject to the fluidity of the market. There is also exploitative practice, greed and new Audis.I know it is being too simplistic but the arithmetic of that price hike just does not make sense the . The price hike is 60pence per Kg so the price hike per 1000 cartridges should be £17 for 28g carts and £15 for 24g . Lets not relate any price hike to the cost of components lets just say they just put up the price by what ever cost the want and we pay because you cannot shoot with out them . Cartridge prices are just a big piss take by the manufacturers end of.
Great where do i get them in Dorset?Yes, Pegoraro Speed 28g plastic...£170/k. Price rise coming with them too!!! Shoot very like a Clever T2
