Half price of the cci. Not actually half price of normal cost. Henry kranks.
I hear this all the time, and I'm affected by pricing just the same as everyone else, HOWEVER, you cannot fairly compare the cost of a USA manufactured product, with the cost of the same product in the UK, unless you want to ignore the extra costs involved in getting the products to the UK !
So if something is $50.00 in the US, roughly £37.00 IF you use someone like Revolut to pay. On top of the £37.00, you have shipping, & handling, which for something like primers, powder, ammunition, isn't cheap, but even putting that aside, you still have, duty, and VAT. I don't know the actual tariff on these parts, but let's say 10% duty, so now circa £41.00, plus VAT @ 20%, £roughly £50.00, before the cost of shipping, and handling, at the very least.
From experience, trade discounts in the US can be a lot lower than you think, because their market is so competitive, and it could easily be as low as 20%, or even less, very little on relatively speaking low volume products.
Regardless, being asked to pay in UK £'s the same as is quoted in US $'s is not unreasonable, at least whilst the £/$ exchange rate is circa $1.4 / £

Hey Jamsie, and thanks for the tip!
- are S&B and LRP Sellier and bellot and who ? respectively ?
£175 1000 last week reloading solutions 
Or that the all except .22LR and .50 Browning commercial domestic UK ammunition manufacturing capability was ended under the moron John Harvey Jones when he was at ICI? The same moron John Harvey Jones that predicted that Morgan Cars would go out of business if they didn't change their mode of operation. I am old enough to remember buying Eley Kynoch Boxer type primers.

Its law of supply and demand. And also the endless beauracracy of exporting any thing shooting related out of the USA and then into the UK.
Time costs money and additional time adds to the cost. Trade finance typically costs 2% per month or part thereof. So if its one month from factory to dealer, cost is minimal. But 3 or 4 months it starts getting bloody expensive.
And there are similar delays in getting stuff from the EU.
But wtf do any of us know about these sorts of things happening or even warning about the consequences of so called democratic decisions. The majority believed the bull****. They are now paying for it. Its the price of sovereignty.

Yes ... they are Sellier & Bellot. Fairly easy to acquire here in UK but I can't offer any suggestions for Copenhagen area.Hey Jamsie, and thanks for the tip!

Cheers Jamsie
tbh the Danish quite expensive shipping costs for anything to do with ammunition means that i'll likely have to take something my local dealer has in the store. By the sound of it would be quite nice if he has well priced SandB though. ;D

You need to see what their price is on new stock to make a fair comparison, if they bought these before the new importer was in place prices will likely go up on the next batch.
