RingDove Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 So I bought some Bornaghi 28 bore cartridges today, they were on special offer due to being the last slab. I was told that Bornaghi were no longer in stock due to the proprietor shooting himself with one of his own cartridges. Is this true? Rather grim if so.

Whitebridges Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Where did you hear that from? I've got a slab to use. Good cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Bornaghi are still in buisiness, Ceasar Bornaghi did shoot himself at the world live pigeon chmps, but his family carried it on. They are now loaded under licence by Cheddite, but they are still the same Bornaghi we are used too, Ladds of Crediton are the official importers now. They have developed some new loads and are a force to be reckoned with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pothunter Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 It was indeed 2009, in Marrakech. This report says that the official version was that he dropped his gun, it went off and shot him in the neck. But it doesn't seem to believe it. Very sad either way: he was 53. http://m.armietiro.it/lutto-per-il-tiro-a-volo-scomparso-cesare-bornaghi-armi-2196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
