Bushytail Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I was told the other day by a RFD that they are having a fair few shotguns come in for new firing pins, & all have been firing Eley Cartridges, they said it seems like the primers are too hard on them. Have any of you come across/heard this? My go to Cartridge is Eley, but if there is some truth in this I will have to be re-thinking my loads.

Furyan Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yes i had a few Eley factory carts with hard primers , I dont shoot many factory stuff prefer to load my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpot Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I have been shooting Eley Superbs on clays for years with no issues at all but I don't use pigeon / game cartridges from Eley as they are a bit too pricey so I wonder if there is a difference with the primers used.

Alycidon Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Use VIP on game, but only about 400 a year. No issues at all. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
