darren m Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) anyone use these in clay sizes 7.5/8 in the 28gr they seem to shoot and group fine , but in the 24gr about 50 percent seem to have lots of unburnt powder left behind. why would this be ??

gemini52 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have used thousands of them in 24 gram on clays,for the money they are fine,if they have been stored in a damp atmosphere it could explain the unburnt powder,i had the same with some fiocchi cartriges last year,it dosnt make any differance to how they perform.

Guest cookoff013 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Don't store them cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Supposedly on top of a radiator or in the airing cupboard is a good place. Edited January 24, 2014 by demonwolf444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) My local club has banned the use of steel shot! I assume it is on the grounds of health and safety, due to ricochet! I remember as a Kid using steel balls in my catapult! I ended up with a sore bottom and lost a months pocket money for ventilating the living room The shot went through the target, hit the brick wall, narrowly missed my head and went straight through the living room window :o Edited January 25, 2014 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
