CBL Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Dobbin - you cannot buy commercially made 8 bore cartridges now (Eley stopped making them in 1976 I think) but homeloading and some isolated specialists keep the sector alive. I recommend trying Alan Myers in Lancashire who is a noted specialist and should be able to make some specialist loads for you. What 8 bore do you own as a matter of interest?
