  6. Simulated game day

    in Clay Pigeon Shooting

    Posted

    Depends on how many you fire! If a slab or so id say use normal 28 gr. I used 800 mix of 24g and 28gr once in my 3800 trap at Stoke Farm salisbury and was ok.

    Temperature of the gun is nothing to worry about. Think of Argentina dove shooting where you may fire 3000 a day and how hot those semi autos get!

    I’ve been playing around with these and they are SUPERB!

    The Eley vip bio wads dissolve in 24hrs in water ( normal fibre was and gamebore super steel cup still very intact after 72 hrs)

    in 32gr no5 steel and ½ beretta choke they knock over good pheasants and serious Partridge ( I’m trying to get 3 for high pheasant)

    The was material wouldn’t be strong enough for casing... maybe someone will develop ho steel proof paper cases.

    Very impressed so far, if only shops would stock them...

    The standard wads will still be intact in 20 years in water! 
    The bio wads are good and I chucked one outside on the gravel a week ago and it’s a slimy mess now. Recon another week with rain and will be almost gone.

    I got mine in 3’s and paid a lot, £10 box which is a lot for steel and is top end lead game load price.

    Good guy, good videos but won’t bring many kiddies in as the days he’s promoting are guessing nearly £2500/3000 for his big days. Being a multi millionaire he won’t mind but most people it’s out the league. Not digging what he’s doing but most kids I know came in from small farm shoots etc.

    Wish he’s come south a bit to Hampshire or Dorset as there’s some fantastic shoots there

    In my experience eley zenith just  kills better than just plain lead -dead -no runners(nearly always)- and as they are not the fastest I think there must be some benefit , better than you may think. have a go worth the cost of a box. 

    However  I now use nickel  ---this moves it up a gear in my mind which is  all that counts.  The cost of a days shooting is not impacted upon wether the cartridges cost £5 box or £15  , the main thing is if you you think the cartridge is  good - it is  . One of the best game shots I have shot with in the last year or two uses a 25inch Churchill that he has shot with since he was 14 now 80 - 1oz of 7s (hull imperial) which he says can't be improved upon.

    Not one thing about his combination of gun and cartridges is popular now  but- it was -it still works - not 34grams of 5 shot (which is probably even larger) though a 32inch  full choke trap gun that all up and coming game shooters now seem to need . 

    It took me a long while to appreciate that 30 grams of 6s was the the most popular game cartridge in most of England for a reason . It just works .

    Nothing wrong with 7 shot  for most of the  season but bit of a job to find in most gun shops in game cartridges now a days .  Winchester trap 200s were my go to for years, and never let anyone tell you 2.4mm shot is to small for driven pheasants .

    I have now moved on to 2.7mm shot nickel plated (good and thick)  .It works for me and  keeps me happy-  kills dead  which is all I ask .

     

    Well said.  My friend is now using 32g 7.5 shot with fibre wads for most of his game shooting and getting on really well with them

    Remember Enoch Powell’s “rivers of blood” speech?

    Yes, and how true .

    Hungary as a country gets labelled as racist . They built a fence to keep Turks and Syrians out. They deport and arrest anyone coming for refuge. They are pure and clean country and don’t want hassle. Their proud of what they do and can see all the problems the U.K., Germany, Sweden had etc..

     

    Some times facts as facts and the truth may sound racist but it’s reality.

    My friend in Sweden said since they cut finance to the immigrants they mostly have gone and crime levels are low again. 

    Am I racist having splurted all that out?

    Brexit party all the way for me. Nigel is a great person in my eyes.

    As for racist well you get that in all parties. 
     

    Seems the average white Christian in England is under attack more so from other religions than them by us. But we can’t call that racist can we!

  19. Proper Cartridges

    High birds are great. I love them. Just can’t afford them so much. People over judge range big time and most sporting folk think 25 yards is 40.

    A good high pheasant is killable with right equipment and believe me I’ve seen a lot of driven days and majority of folk can’t cleanly cope with 25-30 yards pheasants so wounded birds on each.

    High birds have been around for decades. Just now it’s more available as it’s in YouTube and social media etc.

    I think a lot of complaining is jealous people who can’t spend the money on a day ( me included but I am not jealous just envious).

    I'd do it just out of interest but I've killed and skinned 3 sheep this evening and it took the lorry 9 hours to get back from Newcastle race course last night so a trek to Alnwick to skin something that could be a human or an elephant, I'll have to pass. Give us a clue what is it?????

    It’s got 4 legs but I’m not publicly saying what and where and client confidentiality .
