Minky Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 The weak point will be the primers. IF the ignite they will do the same as if they were made last year. give the barrels a good clean afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shot some at clays, they have always fired but leave a dirty barrel, they may always have done this though! 30 gram loads I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 Bit far from me. I've got some old paper cases I intended to pass onto a collector but now have an old SxS so plan B is to enjoy (& any others I find) the nostalgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
