johnnytheboy Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have never seen fiocchi for sale in the uk if you find any I'm looking as well! I have a 32grm load for pheasants for fiocchis i want to play about with! Are the black golds the gordon system? i read somewhere they should not be reloaded, I'll see if i can find the link! I found that surprising but never researched it further! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 there are many venues that sell new factory cases. http://####.co.uk/page2.pdf 65 or 70mm. usually thats the price, £30 for the hulls and £30 for the primers, thats about standard. i use cheddites all the time, but got tired of stuff being impounded by customs, as i have ordered from abroad. the black golds are the gordon recoil system. they usually produce more pressure than the normal hulls. this is due to the very high basewad filling the hull. fiocchi are a standard hull, as well as cheddite. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestcontrol1 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yes some of the black gold are gordons but there was only about 50 of them they were 1-1/4 #5 (on a clay ground). But i picked up over 100 normal blck gold as well they do crimp good but not as good as the fiocchi. I put a couple of the black gold through the gun today that had the gordon system all loaded with my normal recipe and they seemed to be fine. Cheers for the heads up about the pressure increase with the gordons system cookoff i have learned something new today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnytheboy Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Looks like a good crimp, i shoot clays through the summer so i might get some fiochhis and reload the hulls for pheasant/pigeon etc! Rio hulls crimp really well if you ever get them! What machine are you using from crimping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCI clay busters load up good as well they must be cheap as there was 1000s of them every bin was full of them but i just got a hand full for a test to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 When i started reloading I was given loads of cci clay busters, my friend told me they are cheddites but they are nothing like cheddites, the base wad is virtually identical to the rio's!!
