Have been having a sort out and unearthed a load of old empty cartridge boxes.
Now when I say old, most are probably 80's & early 90's at a guess as this is when I was collecting as a lad, some are older. Anyway, is there likely to be a market for them and if so how do you go about valuing this sort of stuff?
Any input is much appreciated.

I'll put them to one side for you, I'll pm you. Ta

Hello, about the cheapest 28g 7.5s you can buy at present, a Cartridge snob !! that's a new one on P W 🤔😁
Hello, better than Just Carts, ??
Hi, I don't know tbh having never used just cartridges, I'm in East Anglia so close enough to just call in and stock up.

Get yourself to Clarkes of Walsham (or they'll deliver) and try "the Clarkes Cartridge" it's Fibre 28grm 7.5 shot @ £209.28 per thousand, loaded by hull and for how softly they shoot I'd say based on the Comp X and I've found they break clays pretty well to.

A great description on how your day unfolded , wind I can tolerate , rain is a no no when it come to decoying , I hate everything getting wet including the dead pigeons , having said that , today we had a game shoot and around 10 .30 the heavens opened up and it chucked it down , my leggings were in my grub bag and the water ran down my legs and half filled my water boots , you would think I should have known better but at least it washed my feet .
It was the wind that made it feel worse than it was, that and the fact I thought I'll stick it out because the birds will start moving again after the rain eases off...
I don't like the birds getting wet either, they were laid out overnight to dry and went in the freezer this morning, the net is now hung out in the shed.
Sounds like you had an eventful day, washing your feet and it's not even bath day!! 😂

In response to the lack of posts on pigeon shooting I thought I'd share today's outing.
I'd spotted a few birds on a local borrage stubble yesterday on one of my permissions whilst walking the pup and decided with today off and the wife at work that I'd take a look. The forecast was for a decent wind with rain showers from 10.00.
The landowner was coming out of his house as I passed, he followed me up the lane where we stood and had a chat whilst watching birds moving around. A hedge cutter rattling away over the boundary caused a decent number of birds to lift and spooked a pair of Muntjac which came trotting past.
In typical British fashion we discussed the weather as it started to rain and my mind was already made up as to where I was going to position myself as per the picture below to benefit from the shelter of a thick hedge and trees.
As soon as I'd set up with 24 shell decoys, moved the motor and got settled in birds started to return although not willing to fully commit to the pattern.
The birds were sliding past my hide position skirting the pattern and offering 45+ yard shots. I managed to drop a couple and each shot put more birds in the air, i picked up the first 5 birds and added them to the pattern on cradles. By the time I got to a dozen I tried the magnet but with no real improvement, but as time went on odd birds & pairs started to commit to the pattern where as larger groups were giving me a wide birth and heading off behind me somewhere, where I assume another pigeon shooter was out judging by the sound of shots carrying on the wind.
The bag slowly built and I lost count of the number of times I instinctively started to raise the gun reacting to leaves blowing off the trees thinking these were birds coming from behind, only to be caught completely off guard when the odd bird did come through with the wind behind them!
Rain rolled in and showers became heavy or at least it felt it due to the wind, with more rain clouds looming i decided to get cleared up, 42 woodies and 4 feral was the final tally.

They would take up 35mm of space around the arches so i'd have a measure and see what you have to play with first. If you do have enough space and choose a 2nd set of rims you would then have to consider rim width and may need spacers to adjust the offset.
There are a number of sites online that allow you to compare tyre/wheel setups.
You're also looking at roughly 9% Speedo error.
A Sure Sign Of Getting Old

Yep I've done it in a hire car through work, 2 miles up the road from the petrol station it had a missfire which you don't expect from a 2 month old motor, when it cut out shortly after I knew exactly what I'd done.
I was about a mile from my parents so got my dad to tow it in. I emptied the tank as far as I could and shot some diesel in it and cranked it a lot, it coughed, spluttered and generated a bit of vapour, it eventually fired up and I took it for an enthusiastic drive down the A14. At the time I thought that was the better option than having to tell the lads at work..
