RST shells

On the some of the shells I see the they have gone from $11 to $12 a box. Did your shipping cost more...which lead to the higher overall cost? I just ordered a few flats of 16's for the new to me Parker I'll post about as soon as I get it.

I think the only other alternative is Polywad or to reload. I am reloading now for 12 and 10 gauge. RST's 7/8 and 3/4 12 gauge loads are great. If you don't reload I think RST is probably the best option even with their recent price increase, which I didn't even notice until I saw this thread. They have a great selection in every gauge and shipping is quick.

Morris has done a lot for our shooting community through the years, and a company has to make a profit to stay in business. I'am sure their cost for components have increased just like everything else. I would hate to see the RST line of shells go away. So if a price increase is needed to keep us all supplied with first class shells for our favorite guns, so be it.

Double what Robert said.

I agree with what Robert said also but an increased cost to me of that amount is unacceptable. I was purchasing about 50 flats a year and had been for several years . They did extend to me a good discount on shells and shipping that I feel was justified for purchasing that volume. It Morris's business and he needs to make money but...
