Maxus Hunter Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I'd like to know how u get on with them, does it say what advertised speed is on them, O and what price did u get them at Regards Tony Edited April 30, 2017 by Maxus Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenergp Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I used copper shot from Siarm last season no3's it seemed pretty good, i have been trying to get some more but they have been out of stock of it for a while. I have a copper load with something a bit different, i hope to try it out this week on the pattern plate to see if it works, i hope to find out on Wednesday.

Loaded 1 1/4oz 12g and 1 1/2oz 10g. Both worked well. Shame Siarm only do 6 and 3 as I'd like to try 4 in 12g to get the pattern density up a bit.

matone Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Rottweil seem to have an almost non existent prescence here now,shame as they sold some good shells in the 80/90`s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I would certainly try some, if I could find someone who stocks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iano Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Rottweil are RWS, so if you contact one of their main dealers or somone who carries a decent amount of their range? Never have seen copper shot, anyone used here used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 How does it compare price and density to steel shot? Copper can be alloyed so could be a good future load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnytheboy Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I tried rws suppliers and it didn't work out, no one was really interested in supplying me rottweil cartridges, however world sporting work like just cartridges and have been happy to supply me everything, they have been fantastic tbh Stated speed 397ms = 1300fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yes but they dont seem to distribute many !lol. I'd agree. Must be price. It's a shame because it's good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 i did a proof run of 28gram pure copper in a 3". i`ve never personally fired them, but theyd be good as a duck load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Good load for older non steel proof guns as copper shouldn't hurt the barrel if it contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
