the hitman Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago When George started out you could buy his cartridges from Bywell shooting ground at a very reasonable price. He made a cartridge called proper pigeon in a dark blue case, and was loaded in 30g of 5.5 shot. First pigeon I shot with them was very dead at 30yards - I soon decided that these cartridges would be better on high pheasant. Some time later that year I was on a beating day, and one of the guns had forgotten to pack his cartridges - on hearing this I offered the 100 of George’s cartridges that I had in the car. The gun accepted and paid me twice what I had paid. At the end of the day the gun - who was an experienced shooter said that he was going to detour to Bywell on his way home and clear the shelf as he could not believe how well they patterned at range. I did buy other cartridges from George over the years but not in recent times. Sorry to hear that he is no longer in the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
