Bishop I still got a box of them Russian cartridges god when you let go with them in the dark couldn’t see ****** all for five minutes.

the 2  3/4 rto paper  russians were awesome.we used them on everything. bit harsh on the  ferreting though but rabbits running up the sea wall had no chance

These are the new ones 38 g only in 3s brought out about 18 months ago ( lead ) 

Clear white case's and deep brass ??? If so a good friend who now lives in Scotland shot plenty of Geese with them last season 👍

The original "maximum" was a 34g gram load. Use to be the heaviest cartridge you could put through a 2.5" sxs. Great cartridge. 

Very popular cartridge in ireland for roughshooting. No7 Maximum was a killer in the first barrel for pheasants/woodcock. Still a few boxes to be got here and there.
