Dunkield Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 My lad uses Eley Fibres for clay magman, 24grms though to keep the whack sensible, 28grms is at the heavy end of 20 bore loads. The seem to break clays well, a bit too well last time I took him That price doesn't look bad baring in mind the market price and the fact 20's are bit more than 12's. The funny thing is when you load you gun bag up, and 100 cartridges come just over half way up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have done the deal with Caplock for his 20g semi auto. When it arrives I will need some cheap clay shells and so am watching this thread with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 As I was rummaging through my cartridges I found the 20s, and they are not waht I thought - too many Elay's about the place OK so they ARE: Gambore Super Competition 24 gram 8's felt wad. I paid about £115 for them when I got the gun, it wasn't a cheap shop, but that was last December. They were 'patterned' against a piece of rotton plywood on my mates farm and they seemed pretty consistant The surprising thing was it looked like the pattern was centre dense, until we worked out the wad was going striaght thought the ply as well it was ony 3 or 4 ply and very wet. As I said further up, the boy came shooting with us a while back and shot a very respectable card with them. For an O/U or SBS I would say use 24 grams but not sure about the auto Mung, as it will soak up the recoil and may cycle the heavier loads better - trial and error I guess.

magman Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 stuart having used the 28 grm load,s they do fetch the longer range bird,s down well . But as you say 24 grm,s are fine for the clay,s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I use 28g of 8's for clays. The recoil doesn't bother me, it's the weight of the gun that puts me off the 12 bores. I'm currently looking for some heavy, foul recoiling, large shot size, magnum!!! 20 bore cartridges. What ever for I hear you cry... I like to keep some heavier cartridges in a seperate pocket when rabbiting in case charlie fox pops his head out and requires potting. He puts in an appearance regularly if I only have the air rifle.

dodeer Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Sportsman Gun Centre are selling 20bore Rottweil fibre 9's for £100 per 1000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Only just found this thread, Stuart, and yes, I'm almost fanatical about 20-bores. What are you going to use fibre wad 9s for Sam, other than snipe? Sounds like a good deal, preice-wise, if for a not particularly versatile load. I'm sticking with Hull Pro Twenty 24g #7.5s for clays, and Hull Sterling Game 25g #6 fibre wads for driven shooting. I use Lyalvale Express Super 20 Gauge Steel 24g #4s for duck, and after using them on a duck drive this ast Saturday, they absolutely belted the teal and mallard. The above three loads are not cheap, but they are the best 20 bore loads in my opinion. And it's been a rather exhaustive, drawn-out test to come to that verdict.
