Availability of Rifle RTX pellets in the UK

I bought a couple of tins before ihunter closed 🫣

Rifle RTX Pellets.webp
 
Nice one. I've managed to source 4 sleeves so 20 tins. If I can't get them in the UK I may just have to take a trip to France lol

So now that IHunter are defunct, has anyone found an alternative outlet for RTX pellets by Rifle?

I can't seem to find anyone stocking them. I did see a page on the SMK website that showed them being stocked, but now that too has disappeared.

Hawke are the new importers. I asked them and they confirmed.
 
I use these in .22 for most of my rifles and the slugs in fac, I've found them on par with most top brands, it will be a tad more expensive to find a replacement, shame!

Alright I'll bite

  • Each pellet @ 0.54g assuming heavies
  • 500 per tin so 270g
  • I have scales and an empty tin on my desk because I'm a fully hinged functioning adult and it weighs 18.38g so let's call it 290g per tin
  • It's Actual Gross Weight so that includes the weight of the van and the driver. The 3.5 Tonne (gross, not curb) ford transit can carry 1472kg at 90% fuel, and that has to include the driver and any other bits. So let's say we have 1,350Kg to work with
  • 1,350,000 g / 290 g = 4,655.172
  • 4,655 tins of pellets @ €9.00 (assuming no bulk discount but that would be very cruel!) = €41,895
  • At current exchange, that's £36,272.53
  • France operates a 20% VAT so 36,272.53 / 5 = £7,254.51

Go on, do it coward

You realise the 3.5 ton on eurostar includes the weight of the van, dont you?
