Pellet availability

Post by SMC »

I have noticed that Pyramid Air and Champion's Choice are out of stock for RWS Meisterkugeln and R10 (heavy and light). Pyramid has been out for some time. Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on?

Thanks, Steve

I just received two cases (100,000 pellets) RWS Basics from Neal Stepp for the team I help coach.

Hi Doug, Neal orders directly from the manufacturer or European vendors. I’m just curious about the larger shooting suppliers running out around the same time. Thanks for the response.

I expect Pyramid, etc. all get them through Umarex USA. If they have a hiccup in their supply chain, it affects lots of retailers.

Just ordered full case of RWS R10 match, heavy, 4.50mm, from Neil Stepp at ISS.

FYI:
Champ Choice is also a "Go-to" when they have inventory.

Pyramidy and AirGunDepot = "marginal" you get what they send . . . odd lots et cetera . . . they're more geared toward the cheap guns.

Amazon = NEVER, EVER order pellets - they have those monkeys from the old Samsonite luggage commercials throw the tins around - denting and busting the mis-matched odd-lot tins . . . and that's only if the monkeys aren't pitching their feces at each other . . . . man, I hope Jeff Bezos doesn't have the same monkeys in the galley of his Super-Yacht - you could image the smell . . . .

RWS also produce military ammo, why do you think we are all finding it difficult get our favourite match pellets at the moment.
