Anyone else watched the film We are the Millers?
Every available space in their motorhome is packed with cocaine. My house now resembles that but with cartridges!
If I keep them long enough they'll be worth more per kg than cocaine the way things are going!

That’s odd , my local supplier told me yesterday that the prices are now stable and he’s not aware of any planned increase

Fiocchi and whoever they own, except for B&P who are going up 4%
Baschieri & Pellagri. Been around for years and big component manufacturers. Currently being pushed hard in the uk.
Irrelevant to anyone not prepared to pay £350+ for a thousand.

B+p now under the fiocchi umbrella. I obtained some for a good price recently. They are absolutely the dogs danglies. Superb kills at any range/target. The best kills I have ever seen. Anywhere anytime. But they are eyewateringly expensive.
If you are a shooter who needs confidence in a cartridge and money isn't a factor , then get some.

MrJ, am thinking the suggestion is that is Fiocchi & Express ( latter now owned by Fiocchi )
I have just gone on to Decathlon France and the cheapest cartridges there are coming in at € 292 per thousand which is an increase of 92 € on the price at this time last year 46% increase in one year ... if the trend continues the sport will be dead inside the next three to five years. I have what I would call an above average expendable income but it is a question of when I say hold on there are better ways to spend this money and I do not think I would be alone in saying that. Also it is not just about cartridges you have clays and fuel to pay for too . I was shooting FBlacks last year I shudder to think what they will be coming in at now they were €280/thou this time last year .
I had thought about making a return to shooting bigger competitions and so need to train more ... the price of bangers is definitely ruled that out now. I reckon my shooting is going to be reduced not increased .

Over at my place in Spain at the moment and just checked out prices at my local Decathlon. Their 28gm 7.5 are on sale at 70.99eu per slab. That's a little bit cheaper but still a massive price hike, I seem to remember before prices started to move they were over 100eu less per 1000
I seem to remember before the price hikes you could pick up a base UK Cartridge about £180/185 . The Decathlon Cartridges back then worked out just below £150. Today the same cartridge is on sale at at £251 on today's exchange rate. That's a massive jump even allowing for inflation.
