tomo-uk Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi all recently purchased a Winchester sx3 and I was bought 500 hull comp x cartridges for Xmas but there only 21g and 65mm in length and was told they wouldn't be suitable for my semi so what would you guys recommend for clays for my sx3?

Will Poon Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I shot some of those through my Maxus and it didn't spit them out properly ! So I just stick with my 28g ,8 shot , 70mm cheddites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo-uk Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ha cheers mate I might try take these back to the shop and swap them and pay the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just a thought , if your not that desperate to get rid if them keep hold if them as you may want a sxs in the future and use them in it as quite a few sxs will only fit 65mm cartridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo-uk Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah would like a sbs actually mate but don't think I'd use it on clays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 If you can shoot plas wad the eley Olympics are ideal 70mm case nice shell but plaswad only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Use any cart 24g and bigger in 70mm or longer. You could shoot the comp x and cycle it yourself or single shot. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo-uk Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 No mate not tried them suppose its worth a go but it was just the length I was worried about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 they will go bang no problems its just if they have enough oooomph in them to cycle the action my sx3 is about 6 months old and it cycled em ok it didnt feel like i had gone off but it spat the empty out and stuffed the next one up the spout no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo-uk Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Mines brand new but I suppose I can only try them thanks for the advice cannot wait to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 might need a few thumpier loads through it to loosen it off enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
