bignoel Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 not sure they state gentrys high velocity long range heavy load waterproof cartridges on 1 box on another gamebore pretty much the same doesnt state lead shot or not .just states not to be used in guns of chamber length less than 2.3/4 or guns not nitro proofed ?

al4x Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 they're just heavy cartridges, odds are they are lead best use is foxes or possibly very high pheasants. They come in smaller boxes as they usually are pretty expensive and you don't tend to use that many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be prudent to see if the proof spec. which should be on the boxes matches your gun. chers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 i have box of 0's that came in 10, i just carry them in a pocket when go hunting, good for foxes last lot I used were SSG's and for Muntjack, was a little off putting as shortly after I saw some of the same cartridges being used in a police wanted picture after an old guy fairly near me was murdered. According to a friend in the police at the time the damage was such that they didn't know he'd been shot to start with. they're ferocious things at close range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 is ssg's not the supergame buckshot? im talking about 0 birdshot. or have i got confused again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 nope you're not confused these were like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 yep, i have some of those too, but theyre blue and i think a bit longer, cant remember the make. theres only about 9 balls of lead in them, but id rather be shot by a rifle than one of those at close range. also good for cutting down trees in a hurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 they ricochet badly if used in woodland as well I've shot a Muntjack and a landrover in one shot, the landrover was behind me didn't do damage but you could hear the noise when it hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 ive only used them a few times, mostly on trees but im planning to try it on a wrecked peugeot 106 lying in my mates yard soon, perhaps ill take cover behind some round bales before pulling the trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I think you should get a minimum of 36g of BB's or 1's as you just won't have the pattern otherwise. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
