I was in the process of replacing some flares that have gone past the expiration date. The gun I bought (aprox 5 years ago) came with the short 12 guage type cartridges.

Now the most common cartridges I see available are the HP (high performance) type



I have not been able to find ANYONE! in the retail level that can tell me with complete assurance that both types will work in my gun. Can anyone out there tell me if there has been a change in the design of the gun that would prohibit the longer HP flares from being used in a 5 year old gun. I don't have the gun with me or I would not need the answer. I've been on Orion's web site and it was no help. Thanks.

They work. I have the same gun and shoot both in it. The HP flares just simply shoot higher than the old 12 ga. type.

Yep the HP flares are perfect for them azz holes that run across the end of your drift. Got to lead em a little farther with the pistol style flare gun though.

Thanks for the help fellows! I trust your replies much more that the folks I've been on the phone with this morning

BB....do you use a single hand (off hand) stance or the two hand hold position when addressing the drift interceptors?

Single hand like Doc Holiday in Tombstone. I holler "Im your huckleberry" before I warm their azzez up!!!

The only thing that ticks me off is they no longer fit nicely in the case on the clip....
