DANARMS Cartridges

[Arley]

Hi Guys,

Just bought a load of game cartridges including 500 42gm no 5 copper coated lead plastic wad Danarm cartridges that were loaded in Denmark, boxes of 25.

Has anyone ever used these? not sure what i will do with them i think they might be a bit fierce in my side by side

I used Danarm cartridges in the 80s and early 90s on pigeons and they killed well enough.

Also in the mix are 4 boxes of Winchester GB 30gm 5s i used these along with the Westerns on game for years, the Westerns killed some good ducks

Will be horrid to fire I imagine and can’t think what they’d be good for . 
 

Geese/ distance  ducks with tight chokes in Scotland maybe

I think, but may be very very wrong, these are the old 2 3/4" Magnum loading using 1 1/2 ounces of shot?

These were able to be used in old standard 3" chambered 12 bore gun AFAIR.

I did think they may be, they look like a Magnum load with a high brass case will try and get my daughter to take a photo later

I did think geese when we go to Scotland through my semi 3inch, on my sons shoot they use similar loads on high pheasants

I had some DanArms they were yellow plastic case with red printing and, yes, I used them is a old 3" gun (which had been later re-proofed to 3" Magnum). I didn't use that many as they were somewhat "thumpy" on the shoulder!

You could check the load by weighing the cartridge on digital scales,a 42 gram cartridge would weigh approx 55 grams.

Thanks that's a handy thing to know I don't intend of firing this one as its part of a collection although if I find a better condition one you never know

They work, shoot a squirrel, 2 rabbits and a pigeon this morning when checking the pens, used my Semi and they seemed no worse than the 42gm victory mini mags we use on the geese.

Should imagine the cases are good for reloading seem good quality

Thank you everyone for comments
