wymberley Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Lucky devil, For donkey's years they've been highly regarded for their superb patterns. Just ease off from the No6 maximum range a tad. Problem is, you may just want some more! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi, Chris, Could you do me a favour and post how you got on with them? The reason I ask is because I'm going to give my little old lady (Churchill 25 from 1947) a well earned rest. At the moment it's in for repair but on collection I'll pick up some Supreme Game 1oz No 61/2 which I've had put back and I've a feeling that I'll have to wait a bit before I get my hands on them. Thanks in advance Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 These are the cartridges that most english game guns were patterned for when built . They were the cartridge that all other makers tried to emulate for performance . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprinter Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm using the paper cased 6s variety for my game shooting this year and i'm having absolutely no problems with them. Some 20 odd years ago i used the plastic cased ones against pigeon to very good effect too. You will have no problems with them either as long as you keep the range sensible with the 7s.

Chris, Thanks, mate. I'll get back to you as to how I get on, but as I said I think it will be a while. Seems the 'smith is busy at present.
