best place Id say, is your nearest dealer, Im not a lover of waiting for stuff to be delivered, stuff happens, delays etc, then your waiting to get out

 

you can just ask your dealer, tell him you want some cheap clay carts, mine charges around £3. a box (25) and some decent pigeon ones, eley HB pigeon, charges £4.20

 

I could probably save a few pennies here or there by shopping around, but Id then loose that saving by wasted time and extra petrol

I use either the local dealer or the clay ground itself. My clay ground sells them for the same price as the dealer.

 

If im buying from the dealer, i tend to buy 1000 at a time, so it lasts me a few weeks - tend to get through about 250 cartridges everytime me & brother hit the clay ground. I get a slightly better price for 1000, but cartridges are still expensive now compared to a few years back.
