PeterHenry Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 All, Has anyone managed to get their hands on some of these? If so, how do you rate them - they look like a potential life saver for those of us with old sxs's, along with the yet to be realised 'zero' shot from Bio Ammo.

claysandgame Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I shot some duck with these earlier this season in 30g 4 (not sure if they come in other forms) They killed cleanly at 30 yards...when I put them on target. I dropped a nice duck stone dead so no concerns about effectiveness at that sort of range. I will buy them again and try to get some more experience with them as it’s nice to have a load to put through the sxs and the OU without thinking about it. Just my .02 Edited November 29, 2020 by claysandgame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my .02 That sounds promising - what kind of kick did they have? Was it worse than something like a lead 32g 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylag Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Have been trying to get my hands on some 2 1/2 inch steel for some time. Contacted ELEY and they said that due to the lockdown most stockists have not had stocks.They advised contacting Just Cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I looked at Just Cartridges, but their website said they were out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth I got them from Ladds in Devon if you’re from down that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, that's what I wanted to hear - I had visions of them kicking like the Steel Layvale 32g 4's I've used in other guns. Cheshire's a tad far from Devon for a slab of cartridges unfortunately.
