I heard somewhere on this forum that one of the dealers was limiting supplies to reduce the stockpiling.

From what I gather, there is not much of a supply issue in Europe. One dealer I know is now going directly to Europe. Another dealer was telling me that he is paying in advance for stock that might turn up in 8 weeks..... Why? Don't think that has been the case in the past. Whether this...

We are all being conned.

I only hunt with slugs so consult the rule book wrt reloading for competition. Doubtful you will find primers or powder. I make my own. Cut the end off a steel shotgun cartridge, (match the shot weight with the slug weight) Push the slug into the cup, (make sure the diameters are compatible ie...

Digital A&D ( Dual strain gauges.) You get what you pay for. Nothing else is stable or consistent enough. PITA I use a 505 balance & a check-weights. All of my check-weights are made from copper wire & are the same as the charge weight. That way you can check the scale without...

Wrap >5lb of lead sheet around the stock.

Tried the RWS a while ago, pretty much the same as the Winchester sub hollow, four good, one flier. Testing: not just Eley but several other manufacturers, different rounds/batches in 5 different guns. Generally the results followed the table above. Most recently I was given a few boxes of...

No worries. I hope many find the link useful. Despite being produced in 2010, I have found the tables results to be pretty much bang on & compare well with all my (& others) tests. It has saved me a fortune in ammo testing. However, I do get sweet talked by the occasional gun dealer into...

Eley Club still work, not quite as well as the old stuff. But then Tenex/Match etc are available. For hunting I have to unfortunately use the round nose Club . No where near as efficient a killer as the old 40GN hollow point. But you have to hit the target first. If your collection had...

Table robbed from "Accurate Shooter" Certainly demonstrates the differences in accuracy between manufacturers NB: this is a few years old & bit out of date. You are being redirected... Has anybody tried the new (ish) Sellier & Bellot 40GN sub HP? How do these compare? (I think the table...

I agree with "Beiruty" my personal experience shows the same. https://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/vertical-dispersion-flat-spots-on-the-mv-ladder-test-are-meaningless.4073190/page-7 "As groups shrink, MV SD will increase and vice versa. So, the best is to find a compromise load between...

I thought that most RS powders were becoming if not are unavailable. The Ukraine bull. Seem to work tho Go for Vihtavouri, most available (last time I looked). I have found that the velocities get a bit wild when compressing the loads. Also, go for the lowest energy that works, it will make...

Powder is postable subject to the dangerous handling fee, so not cheap unless you are buying a bushel. Primers are not. You will probably struggle to find off-the-shelf hulls of the correct length to match your slug/cup etc combination. Why not use spent cases. Trim to length prior to roll...
