Hammo

Rottweil also did the same all plastic carts, neve.r took off and I think the cases were separating when fired, occasionally. That was in my youth early eighties. as mentioned in post above. Love the old stuff! are cartridge collectors fairs / meets still a thing? went to one in marlborough, would have been eighties sometime. As they cant be posted, collecting can be hard work. I have a small collection of mostly paper carts, but also a few eighties plastic ones from memory lane.

Love seeing these old carts! I have a small collection, Got a whole box of those Rekord carts, and a few Alphamax and Hymax of various ages. When I was a lad in the early eighties me and a mate would scour local shoots for empties and I had hundreds! As soon as I got my ticket at 15, they were all binned - what a shame!!

Would love one of those for my little collection. Love the old stuff!

The ring pull off a grenade works well, only fits chunky zips as on issue smocks 😃

I have a Turkish Huglu but its a hammergun. 3 inch super steel proofed with multichokes. I really like it. At £600 new probably a bit cheaper than what you want, but a super side by side none the less!

Thanks, I find that quite interesting. Quite a bit of history that I had not considered.

No. To clarify, I am led to believe that restrictions within the cull won't allow .204, although it does deliver a similar energy as some.22 centre fire. Its only anecdotal stories ive heard second hand. Nothing murky being hinted at by me.

You have me totally baffled.

I sincerely hope so!! Also .204 ammo is not hard to come by if you use factory only, prices slowly coming down as popularity gains momentum.

The shotgun is 2 3/4" and was recently sent in for re-proof. Currently I only put 1oz lead through it. I would still be nervous though, can imagine weeping into my pillow if something happened to my cherished Hammergun.

I have only used Eley Eco Steel on crows, but no perceptible lack of performance; even on the longer (by my standards) shots. I plan to use up the last of my lead and stick to these, Just Cartridges delivered mine no probs. Will have to try the Grand Prix 21/2" in my old S/S Hammer, if they are safe in Damascus barrels?? Anybody know the answer??

Give us a ring mate, 12 hour nightshift Wednesday night then im off for 5 days. Or a later time if thats too soon.

I have been looking (online only so far) at the FX Dreamline Classic Synthetic FAC. I will have a slot for .22 FAC Air on my renewal mid Feb. Plenty of time to pore over online reviews 🙄 Ooowee, have you given this Rifle a look?

Hi Apologies this has all been sold now.

Many thanks, really appreciate you looking it up! Fingers crossed that Chris Batha might have further detail. Its $50 though to get a copy of the relevant records, if he has them.
