Salmo Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 And you don’t have to buy 300,000 or offer pigeon shooting to get delivery I did at one time but it all came to a messy end ...... won’t knock his carts but customer service well ...............

figgy Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 It a bad price if you want game sized shot in the cartridges. But no cheaper than JC for clay carts.ore expensive than local RFD or ground if buying local. Not for me, but good for any local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Central Scotland and the prices are OK compared to local places. I was £69 for a slab of Pigeon Power 29g 6 and still had a 45 minute round trip Edited August 26, 2020 by Realale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjaferret Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 What you getting that's better Figgy and where from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Glisan Stingers 28g 7.5 it 8 shot fiberwads for £200.00 a thousand. Great cart I've been using for couple of years. Can't fault them, clean enough not much kick and pattern well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si.F Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I ordered a slab a while ago to try in my renovated "family" gun that I received back recently, some foolishly nostalgic reason as they are made a few miles from where I grew up where the old gun was used over many years by a number of generations and its the first time I had ever shot the family gun. I am a total novice to guns and cartridges compared to others, but I find them really comfortable to shoot and tend to hit more (only clays and using 24g 7.5's) with these than other cartridges. Service is excellent, I ordered more yesterday and got delivery at lunch time today. PS I have no connection commercially or socially with them, purely credit where its due.

At £220 per thousand for fibre wads delivered I think a reasonable price - and well worth every penny if i am hitting things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapid .25 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 It's a father and son set up from Preston lancs, there very good cartridges and postage is free to your door , only 12g for now but they intend to expand into other gauge's in the future, I can't fault them at all in either clay or game carts, and a very good service one of my orders got slightly damaged in transit none of the cartridges were damaged but they still sent me two boxes free of charge with my next order. Give them a try!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are using 70mm cartridges, is it chambered for 70mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
