Vince Green Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I can remember buying Frank Dyke cartridges in plastic Fiocchi cases around mid 70s before they vanished. I suspect by that time they were loaded by Hull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I worked though a case of Yellow Wizards as a teenager using my step father's Greener GP. I'm certain they were plastic rather than paper cases though. The logo was exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 My late father only shot Eley in 20 bore. Either the pink paper cased or the smooth yellow plastic cases with a cork overshot wad. In his 12 bore he shot S & B Mk II in an orange paper case. So I never saw these as a kid. The only proprietory cartridge I recall seeing and using were Powell's "General" and "Admiral" cartridges.

Minky Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Oh how the years fly by.!! I vaguely remember hearing about Yellow wizard cartridges and coopal powder it never saw any... before my time. I do remember Frank Duke and got some of their cartridgesfrom an ironmonger when I was at school. My friend and I did buy and split 500 Baikals and 500 Winchester GB's. I couldn't shoot the Baikals in my 25. holly Moley, the flash and bang were akin to anti aircraft shells. My mate used them and I used the GB's. A goose on oxygen at 20 thousand feet was fair game for those Baikals. The guns didn't take that recoil for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
