Moreover the 4-5 gun shops that i visited had only BBB,BB & #1 and ball. Disappointing as i did not find the #4 or 6 that i was looking for

Rs 1750 a box 2 weeks back i bought a box for Rs 1250 for KF # 1 , i m lookin for 2,3 4 but not available

today i bought kf`s 12bore`s no 2 ammo for Rs 1200 per box of 25

Oh boy Lucky You!!
I would feel really lucky if someone pointed out a address in Bangalore where i would get it for say, a reasonable price.
Anyway, no sign of the #4,6 or 7 yet??

for a long time i havn`t seen 6 and 7 ,one dealer told me that now ordinace don`t manufacture these nos... yeah 4,2,1 r available in plenty

i want to know whether CLEVER MIRAGE in (BB pellet and RIFLED SLUG) is only imported shotgun ammo available in india.NO other imported shotgun ammo available in market

Given the current state of affairs about arms i guess price will not matter soon because you will have only a peanut quantity at hand.

BTW - Ammo rate at kovi shop is 46/- for A 12G cartridge. Ball is higher i guess.

A pack of 25 RC Italy costs RS 1875/- i.e. Rs.75/- a pop. Not bad for a imported 12 bore cartridge

is it more effective then kf 4 no cartrige??? i never tested this one.

RC is used for trap and skeet (if im not mistaken) they are any day better than KF ammo. if possible pick up as many as you can. the only thing is the load is less in them but that does not mean they lack punch.

actually i m confusedbetween kf 4no or this italian 7.5 which one i should buy

RC4 is competition ammo, and therefore loaded with ONLY 24 gram of shot, as the lowered shot weight is mandated by ISSF rules. Till the early 90's this was 28 grams of shot max, but then the rules were changed to further lower the shot weight - to make the sport more challenging.

I am not sure what snIPer means by saying that they "pack a punch", because less shot weight means fewer projectiles which in turn means that you will have a less dense pattern i.e. fewer projectiles hitting your designated target. Maybe he is talking about the muzzle velocity of the shot?

Standard KF Special ammo is loaded with 30 gram of shot and Astram is loaded with 32 gram of shot. I hear they also have a product called KF Magna which is supposedly loaded with 34 grams of shot - but I've never come across/ used this myself so cannot comment.

For the same price I'd prefer heavier ammo (for general use), I'd only bother with the 24 gram ammo if I were to get it at a much lower price. I've used KF for decades and so long as the ammo is stored properly and used within (say) 5 years (though I've seen 30+ year old KF ammo fire just fine) - there are few misfires. The only downside is that the KF Special shotshells use paper/ cardboard wadding which leaves lots of carbon residue in the barrel but nothing a good cleaning session (post-shooting) wouldn't take care of.

From what I've heard from guys who've been using it - 24 gram imported shotgun ammo (No's 7 & 9 for trap & skeet respectively) usually sells for between 30-40 bucks a pop. Keeping the above in mind, 75 rupees seems like highway robbery!

i want to buy a original L.G. for 12 boor can any one can tall about this

I presume that the RC has a faster burning powder (superior) compared to the KF and so has higher velocities - around 1450 fps.

75 is cheap compared to what rates ive heard for imported stuff here.

Try Shaktiman its pretty good, yes, the barrel does get fouled up but immediate cleaning will take care of that issue.

What say abt....Miraj Caliber....& price ? for double trap 7.5 & 9 No.
