Il Club Caliber 16 has announced the fourth edition of Trophy "The Best Cartridge in 16" for the domestic office of the hunting cartridge. After the first edition dedicated to the ounce, the 31 grams for the hare and the 29 grams for the partridge, this time it was decided to move to a complicated loading, the 30 grams for the woodcock. The main difficulties of the cartridge in question are related to the fact that it hits close and spreads quickly.
Registration is open to anyone in possession of the long-term sporting or hunting firearms license, without forgetting that the goal is to package safe and high-performance cartridges for hunting. A special commission will have to examine the lots sent: lead will be essential, therefore the tempered or nickel-plated one will be fine, while alloys such as steel and bismuth will not be accepted. The pellets must be spherical and not subject to crushing.

To participate, there will be time until February 20, 2018 for the actual registration, while the lots must be sent to the contact person by March 5. Among other things, the delivery of cartridges it will also be possible on the occasion ofVicenza HIT Show (10-12 February 2018), more precisely at the stand that will host the Club Calibro 16 staff.
