The price of pellets

Tue Oct 25, 2016 8:41 pm

Is it me, or does the price of AA and Daystate pellets seem to have increased over the past couple of months??

it would be nice to know who actually makes Air Arms pellets as the price of their wadcutters seems to be up there with best German match pellets. I'll stick to R10s from Uttings.

The pound is extremely weak against both main currency markets we need to deal with (Euro and USD) due to uncertainty on the UK economy for next few months ..

Everything we buy from Europe (and the USA) will simply cost more versus 6 months ago and if the trend continues will continue to increase in cost

The trend won't continue because we will make a success of it. Think how much cheaper we can sell AA rifles as exports.

Cheers. looking at that jsb-diabolos.de site a sleeve of the JSB Match Yellow would be 71 euros plus 19 euros postage so about £8 a tin.
Cant tell if AA version is the match or the cheapo JSB wadcutters.

Intershoot in Belfast http://www.intershoot.co.uk/acatalog/Air_Pellets.html do JSB Exact at £70 for 10 tin sleeve including postage (many batches and sizes) and JSB Match Yellow for £80 incl postage. Pretty good prices compared even to the German site.

(I'm probably still on topic if AA are made by JSB!)
