Hector Vector Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Does anybody know where to obtain 2" case length 12 bore cartridges? Guns are still available but I've yet to see the ammunition for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Gamebore do a 2" cartridge, think its called super game. Can't tell you who stocks them though. I have always found gamebore to be very helpful so may be worth a call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 As has been said, supergame are available in both 2' (50mm) and 2 1/2' (65mm). The 2' come in 24grams I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just Cartridges. 'Just' seen 2" £262/1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Do Eley still do them, always used to? Pity about your location as I have several hundred I would imagine. My late father used to load them (proper 2", not 2+"). David Garrard (Homeloader) rated them very highly). I don't have time to load shotgun as well so sold the Hellis, Linsley and Patstone and now am using the cartridges for short range right hand barrel and as cripple stoppers for the black ones in the 21/2". Shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have David Garrard's 28gauge MEC 600Jr press! Now, that is a lovely memento of an utterly charming gentleman who contributed so much to the home loader's pool of knowledge. For the youngsters, David wrote regularly for the Shooting Times in the days when it could be described as a text book in weekly installments.

Shame really. Just out of interest; in 1994, I had to hand-load a special lot of 250 12 gauge, 2", 15/16 oz No 4's for a guy and his Purdey in India. When they reached the Customs, the Indian lady in charge would not sign a release document for them because she was 'against all forms of shooting'. As far as I know, they are still there!
