wymberley Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Have shot over the land for nigh on 35 years and this find is a first for this particular cartridge. A 12 bore Martignoni Genova SUN SUPER 7&1/2 shot 67mm. And it's yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busbiter Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Popular clay load back in the late 80's and early 90's. One of the local clay grounds to me used these for tuition in 20 bore. Just dug a 12 bore one out of the garage in 9 Shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Iconic design on the case … remember them well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Not into clays and have never seen or heard of these before. It's been lying around for a while - the head has corroded away. Being a 12 bore I was somewhat surprised by the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently clear felled a large plantation - the number and colours of old cartridges was amazing RED BLUE BLACK YELLOW WHITE GREEN BROWN It really must be fairly recent where yellow is seen as for 20 etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I remember yellow plastic, with red printing, 2 3/4" Magnum 12 bore cartridges with high brass and 1 3/8 ounce of shot. They were also Italian but I cannot remember the make although it may, might, have been Fiocchi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzyvilla Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Dad used to buy them for pigeon shooting because they were cheap. Also liked the 20s if I remember. Good cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
