    Default Shotgun Reloading Wads

    I am looking for a source of reloading wads in SA. Does anyone know who the manufacturers are and can you buy in bulk.

    I know Cebelas have but they wont send to SA (embargo or something)

    Cheers
    Stan

    Hi Stan

    Where are you?

    If you are looking at relatively small quants (say <5000), you can get from Suburban Guns in Plumstead, Cape Town. They are relatively cheap R30/1000, but obviously quite bulky (hence the question about your location) - road freight will add a bit to your overall cost.

    Speak to Eddie on 021 797 8787.


    DO you perhaps have a supply of large shot? I am looking for #1s.

    All the best
    Sweet

    You can also buy wads in bulk (4000 per box) from a company in Cape Town. I don't know what there name is now but it use to be Cellro Moundings. You can contact them on 021-9317303

    Hi guys.

    Can anyone help me with wads in the JHB/Pretoria area at the prices posted above, R30/1000? Also in relatively small quantities. I only really shoot back home in the Freestate but the local shops are charging 50-75c/wad so looking for a cheaper option.

    Thanks in advance.

    There just ain't no thing as a R30/1000 wad. Nowadays even R300/1000 is a good buy.

    Thats what I thought too. Saw them advertised at R250/1000 from a company in jhb a while ago and thought that was a good deal so reading about R30 sounded amazing.

    Maybe if you can get directly from the manufacturer it will be cheaper, can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Default Apologies

    Guys, my apologies for the red herring - it should have read "R300/1000" - it is my mistake and makes my calcs on the value of reloading for SGun look even more unattractive.

    It is firmly in the arena of "specialist stuff only" - the general 7.5s for pigeons and clays will remain an over-the-counter buy for me, unless I get huge amounts of nearly free shot.

    If you are the kind that likes to "roll your own" - the entertainment value of it may be worth your time. Reloading bench time is rare and is precious to me - so I will try to use it wisely!

    Sweet
