That website opens to a front page with nothing but a logo... is it broken or something? Also what sets them aside from the tried and tested brands? Do they list their components? I used the cheapest clear pigeon 30g 6's today and dropped some good height pheasant... be good to know whats good about these if they cost more? click on the face book logo ,it brings lots of stuff up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some with a PVA obturator but unfortunately the shoot in question would not allow them. Even though they dissolve in less than an hour, the argument was that anyone could tell them they had PVA discs with no knowledge of whether they were or not until everywhere was covered in them.

dipper Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Empire cartridges look good .But who needs those silly speeds?.After about 1250 you lose it at range.All it’s doing is blowing patterns.if you look at velocity a lot of the long range loads Ie Winchester super speed they are about 1250 .why are cartridge makers turning out shells at a stated 1450.I think these super fast cartridges are aimed at a lot of younger shots who have been brainwashed into thinking they need them for killing at long range. Speeds only needed for steel.If it’s not broke don’t mend. Years ago shooting at long range meant big loads of heavy shot moving slow.

matone Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hope they do well ! Also hope they develop some slower loads too but won`t hold my breath on that one .Speed sells ,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago shooting at long range meant big loads of heavy shot moving slow. It's like cup holders on Amereican SUVs. XXX's has two so YYY's has three therefore ZZZ's to be better has to have four. What I'd like is a true 65mm cartridge, with 6 1/2 English shot...a true ounce...and a quality felt (not builder's board) wad. In a low brass paper case.
