What's the story on new Cheddite hulls? Have looked at my usual suppliers and none are showing them in stock.

They come from France and Italy. COVID-19.
And I was told by guy at BP that they come by boat and they won’t load containers until they are full.

Good to see you posting. I have been checking your blog site, and havent seen any new posts since April, was hoping you are OK

Hi Harold

I admit to being a little lazy Rolling Eyes and mostly post now on facebook because it's quicker and easier. Getting slower in my old age (like most of us) Very Happy but still plodding along. My heirloom apple orchard is starting to produce so different varieties for me to taste this fall, enjoying raising Cochin bantam chickens and looking forward to following the setters through my woodcock coverts with a sleek 16 ga. hammergun in the crock of my arm this fall.

I throw away so many 2-3/4 hulls cause of split crimp areas.
For you guys that cut them down ill start saving them. I mainly shoot trap games every week and end up with a few split.

I used to save the to cut to 2-1/2 . Ended up with so many i would never use.
So when i get couple hundred i throw them up here and first person chimes in can have them but just pay shipping. I know this free giveaway stuff will hurt the bankers profits. But thats the way it goes.

Rob if those are 2 3/4 purple hulls I could use about 100 or so.
