    Faulty shotgun cartridges

    Thanks for the quick replies, I did look for other reported problems on the Olympics, the only problem that seems to have been reported before are ones that do not fire. I am going to save them up and tack them back to the dealer, if I get any more in the 800 I have left them I think I will try...

    The purchase of my first shotgun

    Opps, yes, that will be the place, just made the correction. As for going out to Detling, I have just spent two days at the shooting show, missed Valentines day and our wedding anniversary, I don't think I can push it any more, will have to wait until next weekend now.

    Shotgun choice for clays on a budget

    HaHa, Nope, I am still here and reading all the comments with great interest. I think you all have convinced me to stick to Beretta, Browning or Miroku, whether it be new or used and also convinced me to up my budget, which I can. My SGC came through the post yesterday, so now it gets a bit...
