Called and talked to Karen, she is the new contact.
(She said that Chris doesn't work there any more.)
Most probably already know that it's a minimum order of 5000.
I don't need nearly that many, would someone like to include me in their order for say 1000?
Let me know if you do.
Chris

Recobs Number is 800-359-4571

An ebay auction just closed last Sunday for 1 original box of 1000 R-16 wads. #W29932. I got outbid. They went for $41 +$10 flatrate shipping.

They surface every now and then if you know where to look.

I orderd 5,000 last year I thought I'd never use them.I only have 1000 left. Buy the 5,000 you'll use them.

I think it was $135

Their SP-16 Wads are up to $140.95 for 5000 now.

I've offered to sell 500 or 1000 wads to a couple of folks who have requested them from me via PM in the past several monthes. I offered them at my projected replacement cost of about $9.50 shipped per 250 count. They declined. One thought I was trying to take advantage and was insulted.

I see my price was not out of line at all. I figured as much. Now, it looks like the price was a bit low in all actuality. So I'll just keep what I have and let those who want them go hunting for them elsewhere, no offence intended. This way, I avoid the issue entirely, and do not have to figure out what these wads will bring in a couple of years when I'll need to reorder. I think I did warn those who wanted them to buy plenty at the time. Some listened. Some didn't. Some were not there to hear. And so it goes.

I ordered 5000 from them last week, get your order in, they are very close to having a large enough bunch to approach Remington, as the nice lady informed me last week....
