Old Boggy Posted January 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Very sorry to resurrect this thread after 2 1/2 years, but I realise that I firstly I didn't thank Dodeer for suggesting John Forsey as a good contact for 16g steel cartridges and secondly follow up with what JF supplied for anyone interested. What John Forsey was able to get me was a slab of 16g Clever Mirage in HP steel. However, I was a little reluctant to use them in my 16g Lincoln as it wasn't proofed for HP, i.e. It didn't have the Fleur de Lys stamp. Others on here said go ahead and shoot them, but I ended up selling them and continued with Bismuth for my occasional duck shooting. Really this is a heads up to anyone who wishes to purchase 16g HP steel as John Forsey can supply them. I'm sure that there are other stockists in the UK that can do similar, but I have always found JF to be very helpful and a great guy to deal with.
