The continental cartridges rarely fit a English gun 

That's not correct  when I shot pinfire sxs  shotguns many decades ago I shot hundreds of continental cartridges such RWS and other brands  in several pinfire 12 and 16 bore  English shotguns with no trouble .then they were more easily to come by than today

Glad you had more success than I did 👍

I found the position and angles of the pin didn’t suit my old pinfire

It does depend on the action, breach and pin hole location. I have a mint Wesley Richards and as the action face has a small extension I found that some cases did not fit but now have some that do.

On a related point they can be made up and I have hundreds of preformed all in one  plastic 12 bore cases that I am happy to move on if anyone wishes to experiment. I haven’t done it but there must be some out there who have.
