    Powder price rises

    Just seen my usual mail-order dealer has broadly upped the USA powder prices by around £8 a tub.

    Not 50p, not a quid, but £8 quid..

    Holy smoke. May need to take up the catapult at this rate.

    Of course, shop around for stock at the 'old' prices, but still a bit stunned at the way prices are goin.

    The good news is that generally the European powders are equally available, compatible with US powders and are cleaner burning.

    thats because since the referendum the pound is now worth less than a broken hob-nob

    anything coming in costs more

    My local place is about to ramp up ammo prices as well. Blame firmly on the pounds worth against the dollar and the euro....

    Still worth the "price" though!

    The prices go up anyway even without Brexit.

    Where I get my powders he hiked them up £6 per tub LONG BEFORE BREXIT.

    We have zero inflation but no one has told the shopkeepers they still hike everything up.

    We don't need legislation to bring shooting to an end, the dealers will do it for them.
