re fiocchi shot sizes, they make a range of English Traditional cartridges these they say are true uk shot sizes so 7.1/2 should be 2.3mm their other cartridges use Italian shot sizes so 7.1/2 will be 2.4mm or u.k. 7.
Demand for their cartridges has been out stripping what they can make given the global shortage of materials since russia invade ukraine. They manufacture for all markets in Italy and hence UK share is only a part of what they are able to make and hence continuity of supply has been a problem for a while.
In the long term they will manufacture here in the U.K. as they own lyalvale express however I guess the russian invasion has not helped with that objective.
