Greetings from England gentlemen .Just been on a forum called "pigeon watch ". Never read anything like it it's a 12 bore cartridge said to hold a pattern at 100 metres .marketed by cheddite . There is pictures of the wad set up it looks quite simple .I think it originated in Italy probably for flock shooting song birds .Comes under "Guns and equipment dated 18 January .

Go to pigeon watch, then guns and equipment, then out of range shooting [ about 4 pages back ]. The wad is a two piece with a OS wad built in the second wad.

interesting Pete
"no better than a cut shell like the Americans do."
:shock:
cutting the shell to let the load exit still incased in the plastic hull is not a standard practice here that i know of

Rick, I wouldn't call it a cut shell. Anyway, it's kind of interesting.

Been cutting shells for years especially when waterfowl hunting and nothing was happening. We would skip them across the water from our blind and compete to see whose cut shell could skip the furthest. Sort of like skipping stones when you were a kid.
We also would demolish flocks of blackbirds when hunting from a field pit. I'm sure Bill M. and Kevin M. have seen the huge swarms/flocks of the birds invade a cornfield. It was like a grenade going off. Of course this was in the good old days of lead shot, as we always had some 7.5's for cripples and the old AA hulls with the one piece wad worked the best. AHHH... the good old days.
