% saving loading your own 20 guage cartridges


Recommended Posts

I am just trying to crunch the numbers on reloading budget practice 20g plastic wad 7.5  shot 21 gram clay cartridges. 

At present I use Just Cartridges CSP 21g fibre wad cartridges, which I expect are manufactured by Gamebore for them

Just wondering what a good combination of powder spec.  and shot would be for this load and likely cost per 1000.

In a 67mm Eley case you might have a Fiocchi 615 primer @ 3.5p, 15.5grains of csb5 @ 4p, B&P Z22 wad @ 2.1p, 21grams lead @7.35p or free if made yourself.  Maybe £170/1000 at worst or £100 with your own shot.

Excellent, thanks for the speedy reply.

Everyone has a view on where to buy consumables, my local is just 15 mins away but they a hold limited range - any recommendations would be gratefully received.

John at FES is the only one I use.

Glad you are not shooting on any land that I shoot on if you are using plastic wads 

I agree, haven't use plastic for 3 years apart from Goose loads which I had to use up.

No landowner is going to like a field littered with plastic after a days decoying.

As I said I use 21g fibre for clay practice and had some 24g fibre of the same when they ran out.

All my posts talk about fibre, not there have been many. 

I appreciate many still have stocks to use up, so its a tricky subject.
