Chriskent Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hi all, hopefully picking up a pin fire 16 bore, had a good search online for reloading advice, found a bit but not much. Anyone tried it or no a reliable method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 There must be info and recipes I seen a article a good while ago on pinfire carts and using them in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave at kelton Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have tried and really struggled. Fortunately a PW Member helped out with some original card cases. Peter Dyson used to do some plastic cases not sure if they still do. They don’t though fit all English guns and wouldn’t fit my Westlands Richards without adaption. if you find a reliable way of making these let me know. Good luck!

Pushandpull Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 In the past Graham Deakin (not a million miles from Kelton) had made sets of brass pinfire cases for big bores. Not sure if he is still working or if he could do sixteens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Haven't a clue but would love to try one. I had a friend who had a front stuffer 16 gauge and that was a joy to use but until the dog retrieved the bird you didn't know if you hit it blanked out by the smoke. Hope you manage to get it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
