Does anyone know if such is available?

I think you are going to find that those loads are not going to be available over here until the target/competition loads are well established and that market is being filled. Not saying it won't happen, just unlikely, if ever. The demand for those shells is very, very small.

Not been around for a while.
RC cartridges are certainly not a new kid on the block, they have been manufacturing for years and just happen to be one of the finest (and most expensive) brands.
Clever, B&P and Fiocchi are also very good brands.
I was talking to a sales person from Eley UK today who informs me that they have a manufacturing plant in Tennessee. They have some good stuff also.

The RC2s (1 oz. at 1250 fps) are pretty impressive. Used them yesterday to shoot a round of sporting. Admittedly, not much of a test, the proof will be when I put them on the grease plate, but nothing to find fault with thus far, either.

They broke 82/100. Not great, but considering we got a wild hair on the first station and decided to shoot the whole course as true pairs, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

+1.

I shot 100 rounds of 5-stand with these shells over the weekend and liked the results (though I have not been able to pattern them yet). I was getting good breaks on some of the tougher targets (25-30 yard edge-on battue with LM choke and 40+ yard crossers with IM choke). No recoil issues.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

The rest of my order arrived but I haven't tried them yet, the SuperNik and the Champion Excellence, both 1 1/8 oz. They are going with me to the GA State Championships this weekend.
