wymberley Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi, As always there will be exceptions, but unless you plan on winning the lottery anytime soon (please PM me your numbers), odds are it will be an older model. These were often proofed at 11/8oz. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 i`ve got some 34g #4 bismuth. they go bang (thats pretty much all i can say about them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune82 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 34 grams is the most you can get in a 2 1/2 inch case. However I dont think you would really want to put a lot of these through a light weight english sxs! 32 gram Hull Sovereign through my AYA sxs gives a pretty energetic kick!

Blackpowder Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Not seen them for years but Eley used to do a ,"Maximum" cartridge in a 2 1/2 inch case with the same load as a standard 2 3/4 inch case. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
