JamesB13 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 A mate of mine recently gave me a couple of boxes of old game and hunting cartridges he no longer wanted, mostly BBs and SG but there was half a box of cartridges marked SpSG on the paper covering the shot. I've tried to find out what the difference is between SpSG and normal SG but am struggling. Any ideas? JamesB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisAsh Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Would that size be classified FAC only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldwanderer Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 As far as I know, as long as there's more than three shot in a cartridge it's not considered fac only, I'm often wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous Brian Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's five minimum. Anyone know whether you avoid going FAC if you put one large lump of lead (20-28g for example) plus four small shot like 9's in the same shell? Not planning on doing it, just struck me as one hell of a loop hole in the rules if it was judged acceptable for a normal shotgun ticket.

Rimfireboy Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm sure it's worded with a maximum size. Yep, there's a maximum size but you could use one large and four small size shot. In something like a fourten that's a bit of a loophole I suppose. Can't see many people bothering to do it though. Accuracy would be **** making a rather useless ammunition. There wouldn't be any advantage over nine in a cartridge SG's with a cylinder choke. Possible but pointless really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windknot Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Maximum shot size for Section 2 ammo is .36" (or 9.1mm, if you prefer.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
