Fiocchi FBlack Shot Sizing

[Cawdor118]

Is Fiocchi shot sizing the same as the UK sizing? I cant understand why most Sporting loads are 7.5 or 8 when Fiocchi use a 8.5?

1/2 size larger.  The 8.5 is an English 8 shot.

Fantastic, thanks a lot. I was a bit surprised. I assume all Italians are 1/2 a size larger then?

The last two batches I have had have run 410pellets average and 424 pellets per oz respectively.

So a 7.5, rather than an 8.

Not all. I have some 8 shot  fiocchi  TT ones which are an English 8.

The Norgas advertising for these has all of the shot sizes in mm, so those who feel the need to know, can do.

Assuming what's on the box is what's in the cartridge.
