The High Velocity Range of Lyalvale Express Biodegradable Fibre Cartridges has been designed to approximate the ballistics of Express Plastic Wadded High Velocity Cartridges.

This allows sportsmen that are required to shoot only biodegradable cartridges to enjoy their sport without any loss of performance. To this end we use only the best available components.

We utilise a transparent case for ease of inspection to ensure the most stringent Quality Control possible.

The case is transparent red and made in the EEC. The powder is made in France by SNPE to the very highest standards of consistency and cleanliness. The powder is a single base fine flake powder which will burn at low pressures required by Fine English Guns. In fact the powder utilised in these cartridges is one of the slowest burning of the Vectan range to ensure the lowest pressures consistent with a clean burn.

We utilise 2% Antimony Shot for our Game Range while we use 3% Antimony Shot for our Competition Range. This ensures optimum patterns and performance for each type of shooting. All our shot is made in the EEC and of the highest quality.

The Card Obturator in our High Velocity cartridges is of 4 mm thickness rather than the usual 2.5 or 3. This ensures good obturation which enhances the efficiency of the powder. The Fibre wad used is waxed as is the Card Obturator to protect the barrels of fine English shotguns from excessive erosion by the card and wad.
