Powder Price

[223AI]

Speaking with Norman Clarke when collecting a rifle he told me that the transportation of bullets and powders has been under some scrutiny and the outcome being that RFD's will now only be able to buy in tubs of powder in 1kg max tubs from now. It went onto to that for certain deleiveries the courier had to go directly from the depot to the RFD in a single trip and then return to the depot for the next delivery. They are not allowed to make multiple drops on a delivery. In some instances the route has to be a planned route and requiring 2 persons from the courier for the journey. I think this related to expanding ammo, but sure an informed RFD on here will expand. all this is hiking up the cost of the courier services which are holding our RFD's to ransom and pushing up the prices we ultimately pay.

Well me and KennyC have just ordered a 3.5 kg tub each no prob's!!

The 3.5KG cans are retail packaging.

The large bulk containers are not and are often not sold on so that prices cannot be undercut. Some have got round this as they actually produce ammunition but in reality, as long as you are under the HSE limit (or have a permit to exceed it) what difference does packaging make?

I also have purchased the 3.5kg cans of N140 with no issues.

Its all a blooody scam to keep the sodding prices up as usual.

Further to my last....what a load of bollocks.

Are you telling me that a would be terrorist is going to ignore powder in 1KG tubs.....? Or even for that matter bother hadn loading? No. Its just about keeping the prices up and is precisely why I suspect some powders were never available here in anything larger than a 1lb tub while they are elswhere.

Net result, I have found an outlet that sells something better for less in larger quantities. The original RFDs loss and my gain.

Frankly I am heartilly sick of the various bullshit lines they find to disproportionately raise the prices at any opportunity FFS.

Yep, there is certainly something wrong there.... I wonder how much of this is down to the smoke & mirrors of the government and their trade deals, surely with 'globalisation' and currency exchange we should be able to buy this for $13.99 plus postage
