    what are you paying for your shells for clay shooting?
    i'm buying diana 71/2 28g and paying e160 per1000. thats e4 per25.
    is that too much?
    also, i'm paying e11.50 for a box of clays (150) is that about right?
    thanks.

    eley olympics are going at 160 and i wud rate them far higher tban diana's!! diana's pellets are very inconsistant throwing different patterns!!

    as for clays if buying single boxes of cci's that wud be about right!

    thats a bit pricey!! if your gun club buys clays go to them for a box! it will prob be cost price!! i know that cci's are about €10 a box our club changed from cci's to ClayPigeonCompany which we get them at around 8.50 a box (150)

    Mulvihill in BallyMahon

    McBride in Athlone always had keenly priced shells.

    I generally buy in bulk and don't buy again then for a year or two.
    I do the same with Rifle ammo.

    Although I am much harder on Rifle ammo

    He is €1 - €2.50 per 25 dearer than most anyone else i've been to. A great selection no doubt, but pricey enough.

    Currently paying €160 per 1,000 for Eley Olympic, €210 per 1,000 Eley Superb, and €12.50 per 150 CCI clays.

    I often find that if you mention that you are buying in bulk you get a different price off him.

    I got .308 Hornady Superformance cheaper than anywhere in the country off him

    I never take the list price as "the price"
