Guest cookoff013 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 you are selling home loads? - use them up your self or destroy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 To me it read that he has sold the guns that he use to use these cartridges in so has no need for them and no way to shot them so he would like to swap them for cartridges that are suitable for pigeons or just sell them so he can go buy differant. I could be wrong as i normally am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 i guessed they were, but couldnt say for sure. thanks for clearing this up. i would never ever use any handload made by someone else. i`ve heard how some load cartridges, let alone steel ones. i`ve even heard of a guy using fibre wads for steel !

dougall Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would'nt put someone elses homeloads in any gun of mine even if my best mate had loaded them,let alone someone I do not know..just think where you would stand if they blew somebodies hand off 'cos you made a loading error?? The manufactured shells have a market price,sell them to someone you know who does a bit of foxing with s/gun/give them to your local keeper.I guess these are worth £8-10 a box. I do not know the legal position with homeloads but a bit of free legal advice DO NOT SELL THEM as you would implicitly make a contract as the product manafacturer and unquestioningly incur product liability of an untested/unproofed product and would be personally liable for any subsequent failings of that product...

I could be wrong as i normally am Thanks for clearing that up The box of (homeload),may or may not be homeload as i didnt buy new and were given to me as an opened box with the shotgun,therefore i would not state they are new as cannot know,if anyone wanted these they could have them for free as i have nothing to shoot them with nor would i want to.

motty Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 The fiocchi are about £4 per box of 10, the Gamebore are around £5 for 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon123 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 The fiocchi are about £4 per box of 10, the Gamebore are around £5 for 10. The fiocchi's are about £5.50 for 10 at my local Good cart's though, worth every penny though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I would shoot someone else homeloads in my gun, their gun isnt magically stronger and if they followed a within pressure load im sure it would be fine.... You could probably swap that stuff no problem Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably swap that stuff no problem Steve steve, there are a few things wrong with your statement. i would advise everyone, never shoot someone elses homeloads. ever. it probly isnt known if they followed loading guidelines. i have had a chat with a few reloaders, and some i wouldnt ever want to use any loads they make. i`ve had guys advise me very incorrectly, dangerously so. i`ve heard directly of a guy blowing up 2 guns. i`ve had a guy load to a 3 dram nitro load. that is 80 grains of powder, 80 ! he replied when i questioned him "why would the government sell me gunpowder that could hurt myself?" he was using nobel80 - thats where the 80 comes in. i`ve had guys tell me that all cartridges have 1oz of lead in them, they just change the powder, and all powder is the same stuff. i`ve had guys ask to load them a 20gauge cartridge with 2oz lead and a 12gauge powder. all fitting in a 2,3/4" hull ! i`ve had guys get confused with grams and grains, they are firing a 30grain powder load of #6. when really they are using 30gram lead and X load of powder. i`ve had guys tell me to use a bushing table for set speeds. (i`m alittle smarter than that). Newspaper as wadding. some guy tell me i can only use a #4 shot in a magnum 3" chamber. i`ve been told to double charge shells to whack pigeons harder. i`ve had a guy complain that i`m shooting "magnums" at clay pigeons, when infact i`m shooting fast lead loads or sub sonics. i`ve heard it all. guns are proofed to a certain level that the cip or sammi recomends. some are stronger. but i bet if the chamber gets cracked, any normal load will tear that chamber open like tinfoil after. i`ve heard of a guy who sent stuff to be tested at a lab, results came back 25,000psi, thats more than double the maximum allowed. i dont think he can swap them either, he is taking something as payment for manufacturing ammunition. just think, if i fired a load of his in a unsound gun and blew my hand off. i could sue him for damages, regardless of what condition the gun was in. if i bought the shells, he`d be sued and in trouble with the law. so i think you should ask yourself again, "do you want to fire his homeloads?"
