Shotgun Cartridges?

[sh1kar]

Yes

BTW If they are 2 3/4 inch then shouldn't the 65mm read 70mm

Back way back when a youth, I couldn't afford to buy a full box of 25 Eley, had to buy those or the 'Sellior and Bellot' ones. Made one very careful when shooting, no long range or iffy shots.

Could they be roll-top?

Lol my experience of those baikal cartridges was they had shot of various sizes in them, we pulled the wads on some back in the day, everything from 7s to bbs in some of them and others with shot that had got damp and glued to each other
I used to be provided with them for vermin control i have seen remarkable results whilst using them , pigeons exploding and rabbits with 12 g sized holes through them . Crows at dusk was huge entertainment a yard of orange flame and bits of glowing wadding , not the shell of choice for stubble shooting

Different cartridges can be fun - Some kind gentleman loaded me some black powder ones for choosing pegs - most were normal - a few were loaded with confetti

Shot my highest best ever Pheasant last season with a 30+ year old Winchester Superspeed 4 shot 1 1/4 load (knew they would be high if anything was coming out of hill top wood).
If dry and clean last very well.

Can anyone remember shooting these?

When I saw the photograph of the box of Baikal cartridges I went for a rake to see what I could find, came up with these today.

Hi Foxinmad
Those pics of the eley cartridges bring back some memories. Shot a lot of the Hymax back in the mid 80s.

Yorkie, there's not a mark on the cartridges inside the box, they are shining haha. I don't know how long I've had them?

Hymax in 3s and 1s were my go to ammo for basil brush in the 80s too , same load as alphamax but 1/2 the price , then gamebore came out with a ounce and a half mini magnum that was 900kg proofed , think i still have a few some where too

Thanks for the pics ,

I finished off some ancient Eley Grand Prix #6 the other week. They belonged to a late friend who used to walk a great deal & shoot very little & had plainly spent a lot of time in his pockets, as the brass plate on the bases was completely worn off.
All went bang & terminal effect was as expected.
