If you are heading down past Junction 34 on the M6 at any time, give me a shout and I'll see you right.Central Scotland

That's jumped in price this week I think.
Fortunately reloading is a bit more simple here, so you can shave a little off that if you can get consumables but it is going to all get very expensive.By coincidence I was in my local RFD only yesterday and he showed me a mail-shot from his suppliers and associated prices. A quick read confirmed that target/clay pigeon shooting will become or is already the preserve of the rich.
From memory my rifle rounds come out at about £1.40 a go (old prices) so a day at the range is bearable however with these sudden steep increases replacements are going to nudge £2 a pop so even a relatively quiet range day is going to cost £150 plus, excluding transport costs which will put range days out of the reach of many tyro shooters so what price the future? For comparison my local clay shoot charges £7.50 per 25 birds so even say only 4 rounds and say required 150 cartridges (yes I know) comes out at nearly £90 for only a couple of hours.
No wonder young lads having a day at the crows/pigeons is getting increasingly rare.
When I am though my current stockpile of powder and primers I think I will be reconsidering the amount I shoot unfortunately.

I love this whole - ‘hobby’ doesn’t seem right, lifestyle maybe - but it’s hellish expensive and restrictive. Take up squash or something and it’s just a racket, ball and hire a court
Thank you, will drop them a line
Thank you, worth a try! They may also get an influx
Cheers bud! I’ll check where they’re based

Pretty bleak! Mind you, at least if you can get them. Keep trying to tell myself if it gets you a few deer it’s worth it. Plinking, maybe not!
Very kind sir! Don’t wish to pinch off peoples supplies but appreciate the thought!
Thank you sir, very kind!
seems I’m late to the party with this!
Thanks folks. Really appreciate the help and suggestions. Certainly I think I’ll have to scrap the CCI BR2 idea. Seems to be one or two RWS kicking about which is a lot better than nothing. Does mean starting a whole load development again but at least it gives you an option.
