coneyhunter Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 hello all, after picking up this months sporting shooter i noticed thier competiton in which you can win a Webley Semi auto and eley pigeon cartridges, unless they have changed the cartridge length recently they are a 67mm case, a case which often fails to cycle effectivley through modern autos, my new one wont and my old Webley 812 mark 1 wouldnt either, youd be pretty dissapointed if you won the comp and were plagued with jams on a pigeon day that you had won Personally i think eley are missing a trick here, i put them through my O/U and they are damn good carts but i know several people who shoot with autos and wont use them because of the issue with jams due to case size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant hit rabbits 123 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 The beretta auto (391) will cycle 67mm cases perfectly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I know ELey Olympics are longer cases so they do have/use them.... perhaps email eley and let them know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon123 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 My hatsan cycles 67mm carts without a problem ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 My Webley 812 cycled 65mm, it just wouldn't cycle 67, 70 or 76! Haha, hence why it went back!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiautolee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Im sure they would have tested the gun and carts together before putting them up for grabs together in a competition otherwise it would just be madness!! My escort and my webley i had loved 67mm carts never had any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My escort and my webley i had loved 67mm carts never had any problems LOL its a magazine the free give away's are just sent by the sponsor i doubt anything got tested but perhaps either highland outdoors or eley in their own test procedures have tried that combo.

coneyhunter Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Must be honest my Escort won't entertain them, possibly down to not being used a huge amount, would imagine after some heavier use the action may loosen up a bit, my old Webley definatley wouldn't. I know Armsan manufacture the new Webleys and are better quality than the old ones so maybe there is hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
