stalker58 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi,I was wondering if anybody has used 65mm cartridges in the Maxus,I like the Eley HB pigeon,which are 65mm I think!, and I know the maxus is 70mm and up. What do you all think? Cheers Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think most semis now are 3 inch and say 70mm carts but my benelli is spitting out the eley first 28gram 65mm carts just fine as ism my dads browning B80 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike525steel Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 They don't always cycle great and you don't get a proper seal in the chamber And you sometimes get dirt blowing back out up you action Fact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 They are what I use all the time. Cycle great! (And I thought I was just lucky!) GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you all think? Cheers Wayne mine doesnt like 65mm shells and its annoying when it doesnt cycle.so now only use 70mm and above;from reading some of the replys others dont have problems so give em a try,but if they dont always cycle dont blame the gun...as you said,it does state 70mm and over....

danb21t Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 mine doesn't like 65mm hull comp x 28g fibre. but it will cycle 67.5mm D&J 28g fibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 My maxus which is 3.5 chamber occasionally jammed on the 65mm shells. Never a problem with the 70s though so can't complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
