Another Newbie

Afternoon all from a not so sunny Berkshire!

I'm fairly new to shooting and trying to get all the info that I canto expand the grey matter on the subject, so you will have to forgive the novice questions for the obvious answers......

Cheers

Chris

Small world this, I'm Bracknell way.

First question then seeing as there are locals amongst us. Where is the best place, for the fairest price, to get cartridges around Berkshire ?

 

[Will Hewland]

Cartridges depend on what can be found locally. I would advise that you use light loads, probably 21g stuff at first. Emmett and Stone in Marlow had some Express. It is a case of ringing around for what you are after..

Thanks for the replies all.
