dodeer Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Got some to try recently, (Starlight, Challenger and Sporter) haven't shot any yet but all have high quality plastic hull and neat crimp. Just a pain sourcing them, especially game loads in FW. I've been looking to use them before and found from Victory website they don't make a fibre clay cartridge and only 2 fibre game loads. Everything else is plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 My memory must be going - I thought the Sporters were felt wads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW95J Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Out of what I have at the moment- Starlight and Challenger are P/W. I got some Sporter in fibre/'felt' but it does also come in plastic. I think there's a 36g load in fibre but that's a bit on the heavy side! Victory 'Europa' come in fibre and there's a 30/32g load available- they're the holy grail for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Does anyone know where you can get victory carts in East anglia? Not so bothered about the actual cartridges I'd like some of the boxes for the designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnytheboy Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I really like the 35g victory white rabbits, I emailed victory in Cyprus to ask if they did a fibre version, basically I got the Foxtrot Oscar response, I think that’s crazy not to offer one of their best cartridges in fibre for the UK market, RC oro 35g were such a great high pheasant cartridge and they are discontinued Victory white would have been an excellent replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have a quick Google after you first post and when I saw they didn't have a website I guessed they might be, definitely looking forward to dropping in, and are they that expensive lol? 20 minutes ago, johnnytheboy said: I really like the 35g victory white rabbits, I emailed victory in Cyprus to ask if they did a fibre version, basically I got the Foxtrot Oscar response, I think that’s crazy not to offer one of their best cartridges in fibre for the UK market, RC oro 35g were such a great high pheasant cartridge and they are discontinued Victory white would have been an excellent replacement If they pattern OK that would be a bonus too, I'll just be happy with the empty boxes haha.

Robertt Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 A local farmer gifted me with a bag full of Europa 29g 6's and Mini Mag 40g 4's. They were badly stored and out about 50 only half a dozen were fit for shooting. Out of interest I cut some shells open and the 6's where uk 5's and the 4's where about 3's. So there !

Perazzishot Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Victory Mini Mags are are very good cartridge, probably the best 2 3/4 load out there for geese In there day. Still good for decoyed geese in Scotland! Used them with others on high pheasants too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss Winchester Superspeed 36's though-shot a lot of geese with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinfireman Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Not only are Victory a cracking cartridge to shoot, they are by FAR the best European plastic shell case. Unlike Cheddite and Fiochi etc (only good for one reload,) Victory will load 4 or 5 times, They have excellent crimp memory, and the sides are nice and stiff.....they are the closest shell to the Winchester AA, and Remington Peters shells of yesteryear! I collect every case I can find, they run through the reloaders (both single stage & progressive) brilliantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make the hull themselves rather than buying Cheddite ones like everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
