jpw99 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Bought this dvd and viewed it time and time again. I would very much like to know what cartridges they were all using. Did a lot of pauses but all i could make out was Ely and and the colour green. They looked a very effective cartridge Anyone know for sure or can give a good guess?

Teal Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I think they are a winchester cartridge, pretty pricey. Forgotten the price name of them, no doubt someone else will know. Perhaps winchester westerns i think(??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpw99 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Forgive my ignorance Tam and Mike. I just know this is going to sound stupid but are Eley and Winchester two completely different companies? or is there a an Eley Winchester Hymax cartridge out there?..............................just waiting for :o to die down....... I do know that on my dvd the name Eley was on the box and they were definately green in colour. Mind you, just as an aside, on the front write up they have the great man down as Jim Alborne and not Jim Albone - which is correct? and better still has anyone got his email address, as i'm sure he will know what he was using Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 On the video that Jim Albone did in conjunction with Sporting Gun, he was definitately using Winchesters as it was very noticeable how many times the camera dwelt on them. In my opinion a shooter of his calibre would be given cartridges by the makers for publicity purposes and it is just as probable that Eley supplied him with the ones you saw on that DVD. To the best of my knowledge there is no connection with Winchester and Eley and they are seperate companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpw99 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Thanks for that boys Just to be sure we are all singing from the same hymn sheet and bearing in mind a mention of the word video in a reply, the producers may have the same title but different content on video/dvd. Therefore for accuracy my DVD has the following info on the front:- Great Days - Hunters Video - home adventures. On the rear is:- Great Days - Seeland - Hunters Video. On the dvd is:- Hunters Video -home adventures - www.huntersvideo.com - dvd 1035. Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpw99 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Mike he must have done 4 because i have one as well :thumbs: Seriously son when you have a minute or about 55 to be accurate, and when you are sober, review the DVD and tell me i am not going blind as well as crazy, and tell me those carts that i see are made by Eley and are green in colour and give me your best guess as to the the exact cartridge eg Eley No6 Guaranteed Kill or whatever they are called etc. If you come back and tell me you have watched the Video again - i will have no alternative but to send a hit man up there to get you Cheers old friend :( Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpw99 Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Have got it at last - well almost :( :thumbs: When i viewed again sober, there it was, plain as the nose on your face. I don't know how i could have missed it:- Eley Hawk absolutely no question. Green cartridge in a big 250 pack box. Shotgun cartridges,Cartouches, De Chassi Cartridge visually is 1/3 brass and 2/3 case. Description on box indicates it came in from France if that is the language i have just typed in. Did google for eley and on the eley sales list on first site it lists a good number options- unfortunately Eley Hawk was not on the list :< :< :< :< I don't know whether to cry, jump under a bus or or just have my first Newcastle of the evening. Well it's an easy choice really, i'll just start on the Newcastle Cheers Frustrated Jim the geordie. P.S. next stop when i get time is Eley themselves. Hope they speak english.
