No funny business
French company Jocker has become much better known in the UK in recent years and particularly so since its products have been distributed here by Shooting Star of Suffolk. Having gained a rising profile with its budget clay pigeon cartridges, which came at a very good price at a time when cartridge costs were rising, Jocker has now become a fast-growing name in the development of eco-friendly and non-toxic cartridges.
The carton
The big demand at this time is for the game season, and so the Jocker Bio ISO Steel cartridge is timely. These come smartly packaged in cartons of 25 that carry a duck-flighting scene on the front. Some pheasant shoots include a pond or two and so there should be no need to swap from lead to steel if these cartridges suit your needs.
The cartons make it very clear that these are steel shot loads. Sensibly they also have ‘standard velocity’ clearly printed on the top flap, thereby avoiding any confusion with high-performance steel loads. These cartridges are intended for use in sound, nitro proofed guns that may not have been steel shot proof tested and marked with the fleurde-lys symbol. They are not recommended for guns with damascus or twist steel barrels, as printed on the carton side.
