Didn't get on great with them and still have a few left. I'd rather load my own Hevi shot - far cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 How much can you load the heavy shot for motty ?, may be worth me investing if I really get into this fowling malarkey, I used to reload my own game loads years back when there was a saving to be made, sold all the gear though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what load i'm making, but i think it would average out to under £2 a shell for up to a 2oz load. It's still expensive, but i use them sparingly on special occasions.

geth25182889 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 might have to order a couple of slabs at this bargain price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think a slab is 50 i have 100 should be enough to last me a while when my stock of Hevi shot runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Found a load (25)of these (3 1/2 Tungsten matrix) in amongst a load of loose cartridges from a guy who has given up shooting (old age). Fired one of them last year, if I'm feeling a bit wild I may fire another next year. At that rate there will still be a few left when I give up.

superspark Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 To pay £185 for a box of 25 you gotta have more money than brain cells and be a **** shot. If you plan your shooting trips properly you will get on well with 3'' magnums for a very reasonable price and bring down most of your quarry. if your targets are any higher then you may as well go for some surface to air missiles lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ever since the banning of lead shot, I usually just shoot sitters, and hope to get more than one each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
