They are a great performing shell . But its partly down to the fact your actually shooting 5's not 6's .

All of the black gold range are continental sizes . So your 6's are an English 5 . have a look on there site .

 

I personally love them .

Nephew has sworn by Black Gold for some time. I didn't realise the 6's were in fact 5's, and I doubt he does either. I agree, they are very loud.

My favourite for game is SIPE 32 grm 5's.

the sipes are a fantastic all round shell in my book

Tried the new Black Gold Dark Storm today as the Black Gold are no longer available with the Gordan recoil reducer , must say there just as good :good:

That"s because they could"t get any hulls sent over for one reason or another but i am under the impression that they will be back into there normal hulls soon

Shot a lot of RC Sipe again since clear pigeon went black. brilliant squib in 5 and 6 shot but they rattle me teeth on big bag days.

I agree, I really rate RC Sipe (Prestige Fibre) through my semi auto or pump but they're absolutely horrible to shoot in my lightweight game gun. 30g Black Gold are fine through the game gun though.

I been using the Black Gold Dark Storm 32gm #5 all season and I think they are a fantastic cartridge...and definitely have that extra knock down power for them high pheasants and partridge...they do give off a bit of a crack but I wear ear defenders so I don't hear it.

Do you prefer them to the normal black golds ?

Most definitely mate, they are a extra 25fps quicker than the standard black golds and to be fair even though they give that extra punch they don't crack anymore than the standard black golds...

Another 25 FPS means absoulutely nothing in real terms , I would guess they will vary by as much as that from cartridge to cartridge .
