Can I use game cartridges for clay pigeon shooting?
I've got loads of 30g sixes left over from this year's game shooting. Can I use these for English and FITASC Sporting targets?
How do I clean my gun and what do I use?
I have just bought my first ever gun - a Browning B425. As part of the sale the dealer gave me a cleaning kit containing an oil bottle and a tube of grease.
