    €6-12ish per 50 for .22lr.

    Recently I've been shooting Eley Match EPS, it's pretty good stuff. Certainly better than I am. :D

    Too much!!!!!:(
    Bought 400 rnds of 9mm and 100 rnds of shotgun slugs total 178Euros,Munster area. It's ludicrious to practise in practical pistol you would need to burn 200 rnds per week to stay in form. within a month a reloading setup would pay for itself.Ditto for shotgun shells.

    Thanks Grizzly, I'm afraid thats far from my neck of the woods. How much does he charge, as I might down on a road trip if I get a good price on a bulk buy? Not that I'm hoarding the things or anything ;)

    Strange how it's cheaper paying €66 for 250 no. 7 1/2s in 12 gauge, you'd think 20's would be cheaper...

    Its down to scale of economy, more 12g ammo is sold therefore its cheaper for the factories to make it the then 20g or 410g

    That's €264 per 1,000.

    Tierney's in Wilkinstown does Federal in .223 for EUR14 or thereabouts (I think they're the Powershocks). Also does 50 Hornady .17HMR for EUR14.

    Doubt thier power shock, 20 euro is the cheapest i have seen them and i shop around. As for the 17HMR, thats a good price, usualy around 16-18 euro/50. shooting greys all day today with a 17HMR, great little rifle.
