Farma Geddon Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Now I would like one of those with steel. What is the payload /chamber ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john12 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 It's a four inch chamber proofed for 5oz. At minute am trying 80gram in a fibre cup but need to try get these plastic wads finished then I think we should start to make real progress.

widgeon man Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Only ever saw one in use........... Chap from Kent on the wash, skeins went over me to high for a shot and I was on edge of green, as they got to the sea wall one packed up and fell out of the sky, and a mighty boom! Looked like a scaffold pole on the marsh, saved on walking out though! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
