At $50 per bag, they should crawl out of the bag, reload themselves, and pack themselves back into the box. Thanks, but don't do us any "favors"....that price is laughable....

They are not worth 1/3 that price. If you think they are I have 20 bags I will sell you.

Let's see.......maybe to warn those unenlightened ones who might fall for your inflated rip-off prices???? There is a sufficient supply of alternative wads readily available that do the job just fine.

thank you for protecting the world from evil. Laughing All loads work differently depending on the components and the gun thier fired in. when a shooter finds his "magic combination" that takes the bird shot after shot there is no price that compares with that. to some it is why we do all this bird chasing, dog training and gun buying. been at this for 45 years, and when a component is discontinued and it is part of that "perfect load" the search begins.

Come on guys. I'm not taking sides here. However, I don't think its fair to openly argue the price or denegrate each other on this forum. If we disagree that strongly, we should take it to the personal venue first before openly posting negatively. Once the cat is out of the bag, its too late and the recipient is going to respond, if only to save face or confront a serious breach of etiquette. Then things can get nasty fast. I've been put into in this position myself and I've also put others into it stupidly. Its not any fun for anyone. I'm learning not to. If I can Rolling Eyes , then anyone can. Laughing So......

If you think the price too high, simply ignore the ad. The buyer will soon get the message through no response as quickly as a negative post.

+1 agree with the silver-tongued devil 16gg. Well said.

Jack, from beanstalk fame, also paid dearly for 'magic' beans. Rolling Eyes
