    Ammo prices ..again.

    The last .22 Accupells I bought were £12.50 a tin in the local Rfd not so long ago.
    I bought 10 tins..used x2, went in yesterday to top up with x2...£17.95.each..
    A quick look at JS Ramsbottoms last night and the ammo dump and replaced the boxed .177 Crosman Premier i have used.
    Ammo is going up more than money earns interest..lol.
    An abbotoir we buy from is having its electric going up from £70K to £200K pcm...the Rfd says the wholesalers are getting similar increases.
    Buy now at the old stock prices and save some cash i reckon.

    Think that's bad, have you seen this year's price gouge on new rifles and pistols? Weihrauch HW40 is now over £200.

    Nearly as bad here a Gat went through the local auction at £50 plus 30% fees.
    The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.

    Think I might list my (Hatsan) Webley VMX OS with WW trigger and Aussie breech seal. At this rate I might break even.

    My Prosport needs them sizing to 5.51 or end up with a red thumb very accurate when sized though.
    Unsized for the Hatsan springers.

    My bsa s10 bbk shot them lovely, Was very accurate, unfortunately I downsized my guns and don't have it anymore, Just hope one of the others will shoot them ok, I ain't even tried the 177 cal ones yet, But they were cheap when I bought them. If worse then I've got enough ammo for the gat for the next 100 years.

    Yeah prices are bonkers atm


    Pro Sport in walnut new is good pcp money so think many of those sales will slow right down


    Pellets are also getting ridiculous I remember not long ago buying a sleeve of jsb 177 for around £69 yet now bet its closer to £150.

    Seems pellets have gone up by more than other stuff.

    Bulk buy your favourite and enjoy I say.

    Although with the old possibility of a lead ban at clubs etc will this potential put ppl buying a decent quantity?
