chrispti Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Are Kent velocity 28g no7.5 plastic or fibre? are they available in any other shot size? They do do a clay load. For pigeon shooting I use the 30g #6 plastic wad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve'o Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 They do do a clay load. For pigeon shooting I use the 30g #6 plastic wad Reason I ask as can only find the clay load on gamebore web site and just cartridges only have them as a clay load.

figgy Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Been told the Kent velocity 28g 7.5 are American shot size so uk 7. Pigeon and partridge and any other small birds should be fine within reasonable ranges. ATB figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon and partridge and any other small birds should be fine within reasonable ranges. ATB figgy Manufacturers seem to have a habit of putting all sorts in so it's not a bad idea to open one up and measure what's inside. I have so called 7 1/2 cartridges with anything between 7s and 9s in them, though the shot size in any lot seems consistent. It's not surprising that people get varying results when they are shooting cartridges that they think are the same but actually vary by anything up to a couple of shot sizes depending on who manufactures them.

Tim Kelly Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 67mm cases work perfectly well in semis that stipulate 70 cases. Just be careful that you don't put 3 in the magazine by mistake if the gun's 3.5" chambered, as you will be breaking the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
