  11. proper cartridges

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Sorry motty i think you may have misunderstood what i was saying what a said was it seem like they hit harder not they do hit harder and then merely stated that if george did indeed load #5,5 shot in the carts it could be something to do with it and i wasn't criticising the ballistic performance of the clear pigeon as i have shot with them for must be over 20 years when they were clear hulls.

    I know others do shoot pigeons with light loads but i do believe larger shot and heavier loads kill better (more humane) providing you put the shot on the target that's why i prefer to shoot nothing less than 32gm #6 on pigeons to me it make sense

    go for a springer cant go wrong i use one for everything and my mate is a serious wildfowler and wont have anything else but i guess its down to personal preference at the end of the day as i know a lot of good labs as well whichever you get it will be down to there parentage and there training how good they turn out although with a springer you will need to be calm and controlled around it when in training as they will pick up on your personality and if you are hyper so will the dog be :)

    Extract from the CIP website:

     

    12bore, 76mm chamber, max average pressure 1050bar, maximum statistical individual pressure 1200bar, mean proof pressure 1320bar

     

    Question is, was this the standard in 1962 ? - onward and upward!
