Continental Shooter Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 they're under sized for EU hulls, this can cause a whole lot of problems with your usual recipes. Best used with american shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I've sold millions of them before in fibre wad. Good cartridge, and ideal for clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlistairB Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Always found them kicky as hell, wouldn't use them again! Not bad for running a new semi-auto in though for that very reason! Ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPCarter Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've only seen them in use once and that was when a guy next to me on the shooting line fired his trap gun and it went off with an almighty boom and flames shot out the back of the action! Nearly took his eyebrows off lol I asked what cartridges he was using and decided I would stay away from claybusters after that! I suspect he did too.

dodeer Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sounds like his gun would do more damage than the cartridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPCarter Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 We all had a look. Gun seemed fine and he said he'd never had a problem before but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrowning2 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Not seen any for sometime they were made by Rio and sold by cci clays almost as a loss leader if the club or gun shop purchased their clays. They did the job as a cheap clay busting cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 i used to use them all the time and found them more than capable on the clays and the cases were great to reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
