nige36 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Hi George,I doubt u will remember me but about 3 years ago you were at Pete Coppins in Lincs,i turned up there and i was introduced to you by John,he made us a cuppa each and some biscuits,we were talking shooting etc and you went on to explain the makeup of carts and so on as i was an avid clear pigeon fan,after more tea and banter and John getting worried as you was cutting up cartridges to show me the wad,powder and shot,you eneded up giving me a few boxes of carts to try out one of which was your 32g 6 load,you was at that time undecided on a name for it,id like to let you know that i now shoot exclusively your 32g 6 carts and have done for some length of time now,they shoot well,hit hard,and are good down range and i feel pattern much better,i highly recommend them and have done to a few other customers at coppins when ive been asked.You may or may not remember that particular day but i thort it worth a mention.nige Edited July 9, 2014 by nige36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangford wildfowler Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 These sound rather good, good luck proper cartridges on getting out there into the wider community of sbooting. P.s good cartridges would go down well over here especially if they where a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickel and copper plated lead shot I was aware of! probably supposed to work on the same principle as chilled lead shot which has a slightly harder outer covering (is diamond shot the same?)........allegedly supposed to pattern better and be less prone to deforming?? I have a fair supply of cartridges at the moment homeloads and commercially loaded ready for this season.....but would like to try some of your fibre Game cartridges at some point.........any outlets in the Birmingham area?

hoggysreels Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I posted earlier "and stand by it!" that the slab of 32g No6's (still got a box or two remainig) didnt float my boat. lt might be that had l used them in my OU they possibly would have been okay? Ive only used them in my sbs. Im wondering if l tried 30g No6 they possibly maybe a better match or 28g No 7.5's What would it be to have a slab delivered to my door all in? for the above options ..regards hoggy edited .. fibre only ... cheers Edited July 9, 2014 by hoggysreels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
