Cartridge prices now around £180.00 a thousand for size 6 32gm load Hogey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well if you want 1000 32g loads you multiply 1000 by 32g which equals 32kg of no.6 shot. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazkb Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 i have just started and this was my first attempt at buying stuff so i paid top wack empty cases = free from clay ground powder red dot 1/2kg = £24 wads gamebore = £10 for 500 lead shot No6 = £27 for 7 1/2 kg now there are much cheaper ways of reloading but unless your really into it ( i'm only playing atm) then i can't see the point as materials can be hard to source and expensive I do it for a bit of fun and just game loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floating Chamber Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) ime getting a lee load all 2 soon can any one recomend a 34 gram recipe for game pleas First of all, put the word out (Sporting Gun or 'Wanted' on PW) for some Nobel No. 82 powder. It has long been discontinued but there must be hundreds of tins about, gathering dust. Make sure it is 82! (I'll post a pic tomorrow of the powder and the can.) Eley's 70mm recipe is: Mild primer. (Use a Cheddite Cx1000 primer) 27 grains (1.75 grams) of 82 powder (You could use Vectan A1 36; if so, Bordingl recommend 1.7 grams.) Over powder card (3mm thick) 19mm 'Diana' fibre wad (may need shortening, depending on your pressure in seating it.) 34 grams of No. 6 This is equivalent to the old Eley 'Maximum' cartridge. (See pic below.) The lower shell is one I've had since 1964; it's a paper shell. The other is a 1970's plastic case shell.

Copper plated shot is just fancy and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
