Smokersmith Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 They don't have a readily available range in the UK. Stick to RC or Fiocchi would be my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Russell Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 due to certain arrangements I need to choose from the Winchester range but I'm really struggling ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Your be lucky thought they stopped making most of there range years ago , the only place I know of that has some will be just carts and you talking many many hundreds of pounds per thousand as steve says , I have not seen any Winchester shells for many many years . Your be lucky to find any let alone a few to choose from . And IF and I mean IF you do find any you going to pay a kings ransom for them .

johnnytheboy Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Winchester cartridges in Europe are in grab and go cartons of 150, I.e. 6 boxes, this is very much driven by French cartridge manufacturers like FOB and designated for the intended quarry. The problem you have is the Europeans shoot 36g loads for pigeons! As most are roost shooting or flightline shooting. They used todo a super speed 32g which will be more than perfect for decoying! I had 150 steel special canard and they were really good, 34g of steel 4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Shredder. Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Have a look at the Winchester thread posted on 29th Dec 2017, think that covered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Winchester cartridges are available (in Bulk 25,000 plus) by contacting BWM Didcot Oxon ( Browning UK) Parcours are very good , Silvers if available are wonderful , AA's should be fine for Pigeon & Vermin . Winchester cartridges are loaded in Italy, Australia & America to name just a few outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_Russell Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just an update, and having got plenty of different winchester cartridges I find my self using the special fibre 30g for just about everything! They pattern well ( they seam to prefer a tighter choke) soft to shoot and kill very cleanly. Really impressed with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
