Stimo22 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 This was not a pop at anyone, I was just pointing out that the posts that quote that steel cartridges could only be obtained with plastic wads is not correct. We shoot over land that the owner did not want plastic wads so we use Gamebore Silver Steel, these are fibre wad and can be viewed on the Gamebore website. We got them from R&K Stockcraft in Stony Stratford which is very nears in the centre of the country so sure that others must be able to obtain. Just Cartridge also sell them and they are a fibre cup so qualify as environmently friendly. As I said this is not a pop, just a quote to help users who like us need a fibre was at a reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElvisThePelvis Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi all, I shoot ducks with Gamebore Silver Steel, these are 3" cartridges and are FiBRE wads. I have found that they are really good and do not leave plastic wads about. So you can have fibre with steel So some of the replies are incorrect about factory loads Brilliant, thank you.

ElvisThePelvis Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) He didn't answer my question on where he will be shooting.... Sorry, i have access to land in Kent, Suffolk and Norfolk so it could be any of these, really just looking to stock up on one set of cartridges and forget about it. All you need to know Elvis. Great, thanks Edited November 22, 2016 by ElvisThePelvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I would go for the 42 gram Bismuth at £1,693/1000. Go on, you know it makes sense ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Proper cartridges - stone dead. 32 gram 6 shot, 70mm. A very hard hitting cartridge. Absolute quality, I now will never use any other brand. Me and my two other shooting buddy's, think the same. The only downside is, I wish I tried them sooner !!. And ignore me as well. But there still superb cartridges. Are they any 'harder hitting' than any other 32gm 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil w Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Are they any 'harder hitting' than any other 32gm 6? Absolutely, I think so, try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Unless they are larger or moving faster all 6 shot lead will hit just as hard. Are you using 5.5 shot in Georges carts so it appears to hit harder than other 32 6 you have been used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
