Pigeon power


Recommended Posts

Hey guys anyone came across these by express 29 gram no 6

 

How do they rate ? My friend was thinking of buying 500 and I told him I was never really keen on express shells in the years gone by ? What do u guys think or has this topic been discussed if so point me in the direction to it 👍

Not really. Shot placement is more important.

Shot placement is always important, agreed. But AFAIAC, I'll quite happily take that extra 3g thanks. It's like saying there's no difference between a 28 and 32g cart. Put in the right place both SHOULD do the job, so why do people opt for the more expensive bigger load?

Because they have money to burn and like to boast about who has the biggest ;)

Sad i know ! But i split one of these carts open and counted the shot...also a clear pigeon 32/6...differance was about 30 pieces of shot ! 250 ish to about 280 ish...not going to make a lot of differance.....ive found the pigeon powers to be as goood as the clear pigeons....yet much cheaper !

Yeah, that'll be it no doubt.

Sounds about right, 10% difference in weight equating too 10% difference in shot count. It may only be 30 pellets, but most often it's considerably fewer than 30 pellets hitting the bird. I'd much rather have that 10% than not!

the difference is in powder , powder makes the difference not the shot numbers

 

I have shot quite a few 1000 pigeon over the years and have never managed to kill one with just powder, can you tell me how to do it ?

It will save me carting all that heavy lead about .
