Paul223 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Don't see a problem with them, as long as the case length is suitable for your chamber and the guns are in gun nic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I will second that. The pellets are smaller than SG and will be fine. FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 They're a very effective cartridge for foxes at close range (less than 20 yards). They pack a serious wallop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I wouldn`t bother BB`s and 1`s are much better for patterning, won`t "over-penetrate" and IMHO are therefore much better and more humane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako7mm Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thomas, Paul223's advice is correct. You MUST ensure that your guns are in sound condition and chambered for cartridges of at least 70mm (2 3/4") before you use them. Highseas, you should be ashamed of yourself. Your "point and pull and hope for the best" advice is nothing short of irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sako7mm Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thomas, take the barrels off and tell us what the markings say- i.e. chamber length and proof pressure, mate. I'd bet they're 70mm and 900kg/cm2...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
