SPAS 15 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Evening, Does anyone know if any shotgun cartridge manufacturers make a 12G, 3” chamber in a clay pigeon shot? Not bothered what gram load. Just what to try something. Would appreciate any info regarding. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 hello, do you mean a 76mm x 7.5 shot cartridge????? if you look on just cartridge web site the max is 70 mm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay cracker Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 To my knowledge there is no commercial rounds available that are 3” and have 6 or 7/7.5 shot size but, the closest thing i know of to your description is a Winchester traacker 32 gram 7 size shot but that is a 70mm hull.

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 hello, not sure if legal but if there is a home loader at the clay pigeon club you go to maybe they could make you a few, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just need clarification. A gun with a 3" chamber could only safely fire a 76mm cartridge, because the length increases when the gun is fired. To use a genuine unfired 3" cartridge would require a shotgun with a 3 1/4" or 3 1/2" chamber. Is it a 3" shell the OP is asking about?

Smokersmith Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 There may be some 'turkey loads' that you could find. But what you're looking for is not readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYA117 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Fiocchi make a 3" magnum with 52g of shot and in 7s, never seen them in the Uk, but that does not mean you cannot get them. http://www.fiocchi.com/en/category/products-by-uses-hunting-smoothbore-cal-12/line/performance-cal-12 Edited May 28, 2018 by AYA117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squinting shot Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Only down side is clay clubs don't usually like anything over 28gram. It's probably down to cost and demand why you don't see the 3" 7.5 cartridges. I will stick with two and three quarters. Rio target load fibre wads 28gram 8s seem to be good for sporting layouts.
