Have you had any luck with the 24 bore wads and have you tried Clay and Game

Hi, that's very kind of you indeed though there's actually been a development and I'm unlikely to need these components after all. For context which may interest you - I acquired a Mauser M71 Sporter at auction online. This was said to be a 28 bore and sure enough it's proofed as such having been converted from a rifle at some point. On testing however it transpired that cartridges wouldn't fit (chamber much too tight). After leaving with a gunsmith to investigate, it was suggested that 28 bore brass would be the way to go. This was a miscommunication though, having done a chamber casting it's come out as the equivalent of a 32 bore! Altogether baffling but as of today I've been informed that work can be done so that it takes regular 2.5" 28 bore cartridges.
A complicated scenario! I do like a niche gun but had no idea what I was getting into with this one. I appreciate your offer of assistance however. I'll let you know the outcome and if it's of interest can send some pictures of it your way once I have it back again. Getting these things working is have the fun as I'm sure you understand as a shooter of 24 bore!
