Chris,

Thats cheap i ordered some from my local gun shop when i went to collect them they told me ammunition had gone up and they would be £45 a box , You can imagine where i told him to stick them
I have custom ammunition loaded by Custom Cartridges for less !

Hi Chris,
I have a 6.5 x 55 and use Norma 120Gr Ballistic Tip. I picked up 40 last week for £56 from Raker Ltd, Petworth, West Sussex, therefore 20 would work out at £28 which sounds a great deal cheaper than you have been quoted. Just depends where you live and if its close?

Reading this I'm very glad I reload I did not realise that they were so expensive.

Edgar Brothers have informed their dealers that prices are going up
by 20% just bought more powder, primers, 200 bullets, dont think
they will come down in price again. Guess getting into reloading
will turn out to save a bit more now

Was quoted £196 a 100 for Remington 100gr core loc ultra bonded in .243, thats hell of a price jump from the 95gr accutip at £20 for 20.
