30-6 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Put a post on " bullets cartridges and reloading" about the cartridges as below. Does anyone have a view or experience on them ? If you read the post you will see what i am asking, as i don't want them for clays. Both are 20g with fibre wad and 7 1/2 shotsize :- Gamebore - Super competition / 21 gram load Fiocchi - Top 20 / 24 gram load Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 So what do you want a 7.5shot size cart for if its not clays ? Personally i would still use a 28g shell in a 20g ! Its what i use for clay and game in mine But only used gamebore so far as a clay load and eley as a game cartridge ! Half choke and pigeon and crows fall to this combo happily !

30-6 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 If you read my other post as explained, trying to get lightest load that will do for jackdaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 21g 7.5s will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian28 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Out of those 2 brands i like Fiocchi. Well made cartridges pattern well, at least the 12gauge ones do. But 21 gram will kill pigeons jackdaws/and breaks clays in my 28guage . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clanchief Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Was using 24g Fiocchi 7 1/2 at the weekend and they are really nice, minimal recoil and a nice little quick feeling catridge, I normally use Fiocchi Gold Trap the white ones. Another nice new shell is the 27g from Hull and pretty cheap too. cheify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 If you read my other post as explained, trying to get lightest load that will do for jackdaws. I've been looking into this too, I recently got a 20b and wanted some light recoiling shells for my wife to use. She likes hull 'three crowns' 23g no7s and they kill crows ok to about 30-35yrds not tried them out past that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well i ended up getting both to try. Gamebore 21g was £47 for 250 and the Fiocchi 24g was £53. I tried 21g in bottom barrel and 24g in top. The gun being used was an Investarm o/u which i use as a "fun gun", i would guess it's choked 1/2 and 3/4. Recoil was negligible, the only problem i found was that i couldn't swing on the birds tidy due to where i was shooting in the farmyard. I will try them from a proper hide when i get the chance. Both cartridges killed well as long as i kept the distance sensible, i did not take some shots that i would have with a 12 bore. The lightness of the gun was good to use with my arm / shoulder problem. As i posted the OP query in two sections i will post this also in the same for anyone interested in the findings.
