Cartridges for SXS

[ChrisPackham]

I'm really happy with 28g no5 Hull Imperial Game through my Centennary, however they are a little bit like Rocking Horse pooh.  Any suggestions for a good alternative other than 30g Dark Storm ( 28 are too snappy) that may be more available? Thanks.

Appear to have been overtaken by Regal Game, which I really dislike

When we are talking S x S here,  are we talking 'proper' guns with 2 1/2"  or 67mm chambers, or the new fangled things with upwards of 2 3/4"  or 70mm chambers (excluding wildfowling pieces) ?  Remember the gun weight to cartridge 'weight' ratio thing !  Are they Game or Clay cartridges ?

New tangled 70mm, game cartridges only please.  Quite like Hellfires in 28g 5 too, pain in the bum to get though.

70mm case must be: Hull High Pheasant !

Does the lettering run a different direction on SxS carts?

RC Professional 28g in 7 (6.5) or 6 (5.5) are an excellent cartridge.

Brilliant, thanks, they are easy to come by around here.

Haven`t found anything better! The 7`s are a great grouse & pigeon cartridge.Similar to Hull Imperial tbh.

RC hyperfast. Why wouldn't you want to shoot them with a name like that?! I've a box of them to try. I will be smiling just loading them.
