Floating Chamber Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have a old eley book from 1950s may be 60s In that you could get 410 in BBs. And I think AAA True; from my early days! It probably lists 'Gastight' in Brick Red, and Eley Ten Gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I still have some Baikal cartridges if you hit anything there is a chance you will also burn it,you should see the flame from the end of the barrel at night.They where banned from most clay grounds as they have unstable pressures and uneven shot size so you dont really know what you are shooting.If you do hit anything they sure do stop them.

Most grounds banned Baikal Records and other East European cartridges because of the much higher noise levels they caused when being fired!

jonesbach Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yep...had some 'Russians' given to me years ago. The first shot at a clay ground got some attention! Used the rest of them on pigeons, not a bad cartridge, just use some muffs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
