Vista raising prices of components again

[Mike of the Mountain]

Seeing as we are buying wads not hulls, there's a big price difference.

Darn I missed those sp10's. They only had 3 bags left and 59 dollar shipping killed it for me.

Price and shipping are in Canadian funds. I stocked up and ended up paying about 10 cents (U.S.) per SP-10 wad. Not bad for a hard-to-find (and discontinued) component. The PT1044 wads from BP come at about 8 cents per wad.

Now where in the world can I find some new Remington (green/unfired) 10 gauge hulls? Those too are now discontinued.

It’s getting harder and harder to shoot the Short Ten. Gotta stock up on components when you can.

Thank you Keith Doty!

Vista is producing Remington ammunition at the Lonoke AR plant. They may produce Remington brand 10ga 3 1/2" non-toxic waterfowl loads and lead Turkey loads which were sold in the past. If so Remington 10ga hulls may continue to be available. Finding them is another question.

I contacted Remington ammunition and the customer service representative said they will supply the sp10 to reloaders in the future, but not the sp8. I believe Tom Amburst and Precision had a special deal to obain spa8s. I will check with Tom.

I wonder if its because Precision Reloading is a company they are more willing to deal with them. Both Remington and Winchester Industrial dont like being bothered with individuals it seems. Fiocchi occasionally sells their 8 ga hulls to ClayandGame when I emailed them about buying some they told me to contact a distributor to place a order. If the Winchester hulls dry up it may be a option they come in 1200 case orders.

Gentlemen it appears this group has snorked up the entire inventory of SP10s as Epps. This AM they show 3 bags! Hope all that needed some ends up with some. I'll look again, somewhere I found some available in the UK but went for the Canadian supply first. If I find'em I'll pass it on here.

www.sporteque.ca and GB921110520 (2 bags currently at $65 + shipping). Found a couple others in Canada but both said no components shipped out of Canada. This Sporteque outfit said nothing about shipping them one way or the other.

I kinda wish when I ordered the twenty bags I got that I’d gotten forty but I suspect I’ve got enough to last me awhile . Although I would like 4-8 bags of the Gualandi 10 gauge wads .
