SKEET DOUBLE
It has been a while since we last looked at Skeet cartridges, so it was interesting to receive a pair of 24 gram 9.5 shot cartridges made with Skeet targets in mind. Being Italian, the stated shot size equates to UK no.9. When in doubt the size is usually given in millimetres too, being 2.0 mm in this case. We have reviewed many types of Fiocchi ammunition over the years, and the company’s range of shotgun cartridges is vast, including a very broad range of clay target ammunition.
The Fiocchi company began with humble beginnings back in 1876, and rapidly built a fine reputation for quality products. Now, five generations on, it has become one of the leading cartridge producers in the world and has worked diligently to ensure that Fiocchi products are available worldwide. Founded by Giulio Fiocchi, the company only recently went into commercial partnership with Charme Funds, with the Fiocchi family retaining a 40% share and Stefano Fiocchi in place as Chairman
