Around 11 per box for Pure Gold at regular price to you in the USA.
In the UK they are 8.40 for the 30g load and 8.10 for 28g.
They are excellent cartridges, I use them all the time, generally ordering a couple of thousand at the start of each season.
The cost of ammunition has risen a lot in recent years. A good box of shells was 4.00 not so long ago. Ammo is still probably the cheapest part of a shooting hobby. It is good to see such quality ammo in the US which works perfectly with English 2 1/2 inch chambered guns.

I've shot the paper Pure Golds on walked up pheasants here in the States for several years. They are higher velocity than some of the RST loads; thus, more recoil, and not as pleasant for target shooting in a light game gun as the RST's. But excellent hunting loads.

And a bit pricier than RST. A shooting buddy was over at Kent-Gamebore Monday. I'll probably get a report when we shoot today.

Has Kent Cartridge discovered smokeless powder yet?
I was forced to use some of their waterfowl loads several years back.
The dirtiest, smokiest crap I've seen since the early Estate offerings.
I'd buy Eley again if someone imports it, but no thanks to Kent... unless they've made a major improvement.

They have. The Pure Gold is a cracking cartridge.

Eley went through a bad patch but have improved a lot in the past four or five of years. The current range is excellent.

Eley has no presence in the US. I was a volume dealer for several years with one importer. When Eley Hawk was sold the new owners had no interest in the US.
