I would like to pickup a 8 gauge but I think its best to wait . I seen on a wildfowling forum alot of them said what I was thinking . With the new laws going into effect the 8 bores are going to be too expensive for reloading or too much of a hassle to carry afield so the market might bottom out on them . I think as they get older they figure why carry a 8 when they can carry a 20 ga loaded with tss . Their resizing die looks interesting im pretty sure Ive seen this on the forum before . https://www.claygame.co.uk/8ga-case-resizing-die-pd158 |

It appears they only ship to the UK, according to their website. Too bad, I would of liked to try the shot cups.

Something ive been wondering about is making your own shotcups using fiberwads like the circlefly ones with a mylar wrap glued around them . |

I emailed these guys several months ago I wanted to order 500-1000 of their once fired Winchester 8 gauge hulls and they emailed me back with something about they weren’t allowed to ship shotgun hulls out of the UK . Now it’s a moot point as I have about 1000 8 gauge hulls .

I use the traditional circle fly wads all the time as well. Though I was excited at the chance to try this fiber shot cup as I think it would have batter patterns in brass shells and muzzleloaders. I can't bring my self to use a plastic wad in a muzzleloader, even though I know people do it. This fiber shot cup seems to be a good way to improve performance, but still be somewhat traditional.
It has the side bonus of being biodegradable which is a big deal and Europe and perhaps becoming the trend here. I like that too if they work well. I was able to buy empty brass pinfire shells from France recently. They came with traditional fiber wads too. I just sent the retailer an email asking if there was a way to send these shot cups to the US. Maybe instead of sending direct to me they could send them to a distributor. I'll let you know what I find out. |

Recently I made up some 16 gauge pinfire cases from modern Remington plastic cases. Not difficult but very time consuming. I have a few of the old CBC brass cases that I may convert but they are not very high quality and I fear the base may not stand up to repeated removal and replacement of the cap holder. Now to the point: I'm unlikely to shoot the gun very much so I would love to buy a hundred or so new cases so I don't have to repeat the above process. Anyone here have some to sell or know where I can buy some?

Dennis, I had the hardest time finding pinfire cases. There were some 20 gauge primed hull on GunBroker for a awhile, but the are no longer there(and wrong gauge...). Though I might keep looking. I really didn't want to convert centerfire shells as I wanted a a true pinfire shell for the gun. The only place I found was expensive but high quality.
I order 24 and figure they would last me a lifetime. Here is the link: http://www.hlebooks.com/pinfire/cal16-01.htm And I attached a few pictures of when I first got them a few months ago. I haven't shot them yet and I really don't have a good excuse. The gun is a recent purchase and my first pinfire as well. I will load these up this week and post a range report. Good luck! |

Now back to the initial discussion. This was the response from Clay and Game in England:
