Ttfjlc Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Afternoon, just wondering if anybody was looking to put an order in for HW13 anytime soon? I've never ordered shot from abroad before so not sure if it could save on shipping etc, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 A few of us bought a few bags last year. It didn't work out much (if any) cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 What size shot are you thinking off might be interested in half a bag if you don't want 10 lb . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for letting me know motty What size shot are you thinking off might be interested in half a bag if you don't want 10 lb . A very good point which I hadn't considered I'll do a bit of digging in PW's archives to see what people are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Size 2 and 4 are your options. They are both good sizes for geese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Thanks Motty, did you email them for your order? I've had a look on bucks run's website and it seems to have changed, just advertising a new type of steel shot, no mention of hw13 anywhere.

Richie10 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Still advertised, look at the top of the page. I will be looking to get some soon, about to load the Powershot I have, but I believe it's almost the same thing. You are long way from me but I do go up to the Wash.

motty Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Just give Bucks Run a bell. They will tell you what they have in stock. They are very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The E-Shot looks interesting for the likes of me and those that still use older SxS's. Just give Bucks Run a bell.

islandgun Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The E-Shot looks interesting for the likes of me and those that still use older SxS's. indeed, heavier than lead and can be used in any gun, I have 5lb in U.S. 4's and will be using it through my old sxs. a friend brought it back from the states. I paid £80 for 5lb, I think its only available for reloading and you load as lead whats not to like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) The cost!!!! Do you know what sizes it comes in?

Guest cookoff013 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 that itx i personally believe offers very good value (for what it is..) its probably the cheapest tungsten nontox, by weight. it offers the better value / shots really. being near density as hard lead. i think it works out like thisss. powershot 2500/k -40g loads nice £1800/k 35g loads itx 1500/k 35g loads steel -£250/k- 24g sporter, steel +£300-350-32g 1400fps, #2 etc....

islandgun Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The cost!!!! Do you know what sizes it comes in? Looks like I might have to get into this reloading lark. £40 a kg is cheap........ish I asked for US 6 and 4 but he only brought back the 4, unfortunately its only available in the u.s at the moment, shame others arn't interested ! maybe get some sent over re-loading is the way to go, I'm sure you would find it fascinating, beware, finding the right recipes and then the components to match, then actually constructing a load comes at a cost both in time and finance but is well worth it for the understanding and pleasure it gives, plenty of advice on here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 isnt powdershot hw13? i`ve just got some and it looks different from the picture they give. there is no band onm it like itx cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 There seems to be a fair bit of difference in hw13 batches. The stuff I got last year has the centre band. The stuff I had before and since, hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, I did see that, didn't realise it was an actual link, quite amazing the variety of non toxic they have over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
