aga man Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Bit of a result mate of mine just gave me a slab of these carts for nowt. Apart from foxes and zombies what else are they any good for? Busting rusted up locks off shed doors! Terrible pattern but a decent shell or shooting foxes off the combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I wonder how long he'd been hoping for a mug mate to wander into his trap He's bought a 20 bore and a .410 due to a bad shoulder so I ended up with these and a slab of clear pigeon.

Jonno243 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Bit of a result mate of mine just gave me a slab of these carts for nowt. Apart from foxes and zombies what else are they any good for? The slab would probably make quite a good door-stop? A 32g BB I would not rate particularly highly even for foxes to be honest. I rather suspect that they will pattern dreadfully.

Rimfireboy Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 32 gram bb's is an odd load, I bought some 36 gram bb's back in the eighties and I've still got most of them. Hull ultramax and eley alphamax as well. That's how useful I've found them to be. Not very... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Ideal load for fox drives vermin days end of season, dray blasting ammo in a game gun. Always a use for such ammo, and if you do not think you need a whole slab for yourself just give the occasional box to any friends, i know one thing if you wanted some you could have to travel to find it a few boxes is handy to have about. .

Wingman Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'll keep them for now,quite fancy seeing how they pattern out of my 25 inch cylinder bore barrel on Mossberg pump.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'll keep them for now,quite fancy seeing how they pattern out of my 25 inch cylinder bore barrel on Mossberg pump.. Let us know how they pattern, take some photos to show what a 30" circle at what ever range you use. I think the pattern would look like a blind man using a catapult. But it might surprise us all.

motty Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 In these loads, penetration would far outweigh pattern. In my opinion, a fairly pointless loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I've tried these, and the pattern is terrible, even with different chokes fitted. This is why I won't use them to shoot Foxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Wonder why Gamebore make them if they are so carp! Not sure when I will get a chance to pattern test them, or actually if its worth it but I'll post up a pic and report when i get round to it!
