    A bit like yourself, I'm after a couple of empty Viht tubs, labels not important, but N160 would be preferred. Reason being my custom built 18mm hardwood ply storage box was tailored for Viht tubs.

    I made an indentical footprint box for my primers too and still plenty of ply left from my £51 material purchase

    Just a bit of a heads up. I was speaking to Matt at HPS-tr and the price, across the board, is or has gone up 15%. That's on everything as the £££ is falling

    And you watch it go down 15% when the pound goes up again...Not.

    Another company I wont touch anymore.

    Across the board as in UK. Not just one shop. Looks like your not using many shops now. Hehe

    I'm afraid I don't believe this, as the powder I have bought shortly before and shortly after Christmas has only gone up 4% - that's from someone who doesn't do it for profit
    Thanks for looking

    I can't see 'Businesses' operating like this.... it's great you've got a mate / RFD that'll do that for you, but everyone has a wage to earn and staff and overheads to pay. I truly believe with the withdrawal of the main carrier withdrawing their service, delivery costs have inevitably gone up. I'd expect to have seen the BASC and Countryside Alliance, NRA to name a few protesting and lobbying with government for a provider to be guaranteed....

    They all advertise how much shooting contributes to the economy and conservation..
