Glad I have enough that I don't have to buy any for a couple of years, but I am glad to know that this may be easing up some. Must agree with Bill, however, it still has a long way to go...Mike Mason

Gamebore, Hull and Eley Hawk have followed suit with shotgun ammo. Still, I maintain that the cost of ammo is the cheapest thing in the sport of shotgun shooting. Most people spend more on clothing, fuel, accommodation, vet bills and presents to keep the wife happy. Last edited by Small Bore; 08/22/07 05:30 AM. www.vintageguns.co.uk
