cardigun Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi, I need to find some duck shooting cartridges for next season. The place I am going insists on Fibre wads. My gun has 70mm chambers. Any ideas who makes these ? Cardigun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYA117 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Eley and Gamebore both make Bismuth fibre wad cartridges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardigun Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thanks for your replies, I have looked at Silver steel, and the case lenght is 76 mm (3ins) Too long for me. You are right about Gamebore, Bismuth in 65mm case, and Impact in 70mm. I will look for some prices. Cardigun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 What ever happened to copper shot? that was supposed to be the future at one time I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Our duck shoot is in the same position, my old Beretta is not steel proofed so was using Bismuth. This was costing over £30 a box so treated myself to a Franchi Affinity and now use Gamebore silver steel at about £10 a box. By the time the warranty has run out should have nearly paided for itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 So, the reason I push reloading hard, is the fact the guy here has many criteria to fill. Fibre Nontoxic 70mm All very easily achieved and could provide an advantage. Such as rto to make bigger loads with the same 70mm and shot size of choice. My nontoxic tests i did a year ago, I should have repeated with fibre. I will revisit at some point. I would be very happy to find a fibre lead load, 42g load etc and load up bismuth shot by volume. I did this and had all tested. Would be about 37grams. My test was a 36g lead and 32g bismuth but in plastic. Normal powders too lads.

buze Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) 70mm and steel is a problem anyway... The biggest I managed to find are the RC3 34g #1s and #3s, that's the only brand with stuff you can shoot at geese in 70mm -- unfortunately, pastic. I do recommend them tho, they 'stink' a bit, but they bring them down... Edited March 27, 2018 by buze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
