TIDES EDGE Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I think you will find they are Stellier & Belliot I used 1000s of them back in the 70s they were cheap and better than Baikls not so violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected sir! Edit made! I shot off 50 or so at Clays before a chap told me they were collectors items, they seemed just like any regular Eley cartridge.

bruno22rf Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Loved the Baikals - you could virtually build a T34 Tank engine using the bits of metal mixed in with the shot of a box of 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I took around 25 Sellier and Bellot paper cased, including some 24 gram or 7/8 ozs (rolled turnover, red case) to the local club for their display cabinet, also several Rottweil all plastic green cartridges, some Baikal and the old 'rabbit' paper cased cartridges.

Funnily enough there's a couple of Rottwiell 20G cartridges in with the odds and ends that came with these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were entirely cased in plastic, including the head. The only exposed metal was the primer. If memory serves me, they were packed loose, in 200 sized cases.

moongeese Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I used a lot of these cartridges in the 1960's and 70's the Mark 11 was a crimped cartridge, but the ones I used to use for wildfowling at duck, came in packs of 10, they were a 2.3/4" rolled turnover case. Aye the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In packs of ten. They either went Phut or blew yer 'at off. Pretty inconsistent if I recall. OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, these came to me from a well to do sort of source and I googled the manufacturer and they seem to be one of the older ammunition manufacturers around so I assumed these were a top notch cartridge and therefore highly collectable. Maybe that's not so and I'll just shoot of the rest of them secure in the knowledge that its not like popping open 50 year old champagne, more like 50 yo ginger beer! Still for sale if anyone wants to make me an offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
