dk6052 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I recently dropped on to some an assortment of cartridges and was wondering if they are worth anything as it would be a shame to waste them on clays! Definitely using these, heard tales about flames from and ear splitting bangs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) AAAAAaaaaaaaagh NOT the dreaded Baikal Record !! 😯 The rest may be of some use to a collector ? Edited November 19, 2019 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk6052 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Are the records and Baikals really that bad? Looking forward to trying them on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I have used the rotweils they were very good in the day.I think they came in boxes of 100 with a carrying handle. Baikals roar,kick and shoot flames and confetti but they did hit what you pointed at. The others would suit collectors I would think. I love seeing old cartridges they remind me of days gone when shooting was far simpler. I have still a full box of Winchester rangers.Shame you dont get them any more.

vmaxphil Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 We used to joke that the noise of the baikals broke the clays not the shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Some clay grounds banned the baikal cartridge in the latter years best of luck enjoy the experience of yesteryear 😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many grounds throughout Kent and Sussex just banned any Eastern European Cartridges due to the much louder bang! In hoping that their neighbours didn't go to the local councils with noise complaints which became very fashionable at one point late in the last century.

Hammo Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hi If you dont shoot them all, I would be really keen to buy an assortment of whats left. I'm trying to start off a small collection. The Rottweil Specials and Baikals certainly bring back memories! Also interested in any of the paper carts.

dk6052 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Update about the Russian cartridges, the black Baikals weren't that exciting but I reckon they need drying out a bit as the barrels were filthy after using them. The records were something else! Crazy recoil and the report alone probably broke the clays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
