A fiocchi 7.5 is smaller than a uk 7.5 correct? Help? Fiocchi 8 will be same as uk 7.5?

Just buy English, that way you'll know what your getting.

Thank you nic, buying 1000 f black tomorrow but noticed they do sporting in 8

That chart doesn't look right to me, US 8 is not the same as English 8 and they don't list a 7.5 English !?

Support local economy, buy Gamebore, more Gamebore, or Hull if you really have too!

Why buy 8's when 7 1/2's are available.  8's are lighter and therefore easier to be blown about by the wind

Oh jeeze, does this mean I should ditch the 9's for 6.5s when its a bit gusty??????

 

[Hawkeye]

Fuzzy if you mean for skeet....lots of serious skeet shooters use 7.5 as well. Just ask Chris and Ollie next time you are at Owls.

 I talian 9's so technically an 8.5 must buy a wind sock for the end of my barrels, limp = 9's floaty = 7.5 and horizontal = 4's

I'd like to know the shot mm size of Express's Skeet 9 1/2 cartridge with Italian shot , compared to English 9's.

 

[Fuzrat]

Victory Compak 9's (Italian manufacturer) are marked 2.1mm. Here's a novel idea, lets just standardize to millimeters

 

[Hawkeye]

Someone once told me that Express 9 1/2's contained more pellet's than an English 9.But if Italian shot 9 1/2 is the same mm size as an English 9 then pellet count would be the same.

 

[Macc Ladd]

Stop fannying about use 8s for just about the lot and 7s for anything tasty!!! That's what most of the top boys do

Tally shot are a 1/2 size smaller than uk size just like American shoes are one size larger than UK size, as for pellet count it's the antimony, additives and cartridge weight (28 g) that determines the amount of pellets per count per shell.
