Windknot Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Brought home my new twenty today- a Miroku MK70- pretty well chuffed with it too! It's been a while since a 20 gauge lived in this house, so I thought I'd get you collective opinion on cartridges. So I'd like nominations for: 1) Best Clay Cartridge (Fibre Wad) 2) Best Pigeon Cartridge (Any wad) 3) Best Game Cartridge, driven and rough shooting (Any wad) Go on- be as opinionated as you like!

The Burpster Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Simpuls........ RC T3 28g shot for game and pijjies..... RC T3 24gm 7, 8, 9.5 for clays Winchester Mag 4 or 5s for Duck. Been using 20g exclusively now for 4yrs and tried lots of shells, these are the most reliable and consistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 For quarry... Hull Sterling Game 28g of 6's in a fibre wad. Can't beat it in my opinion. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windknot Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Right then- who's the RC distributor in the UK, or if you know of stockists in Somerset, please post contact details? FC- got recipes? I like Sterling in 12 ga- wouldn't mind giving it a go in twenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) If you are going to try some RC 20 bore loads then I recommend the Sipe's. These are also available in fibre which the T3's etc. are not. FM Edited April 14, 2009 by Ferret Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 RC importers are Shooting Star, based in Suffolk. I think Avalon guns do RC along with Sportsman Gun Centre's. THe 20bore Sipe fibre is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Pasha Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 The RC T3s are quite high pressure I believe - worth checking they don't exceed the proof pressure for your gun - especially if it's older ....... I know someone whose Beretta Silver Pigeon has a burnt/charred forend at the point where it touches the bottom barrel from firing (admittedly many, many 1000s) T3s - draw your own conclusions!
