Does anyone use 32g special game carts

[Wiggum]

Hi all im getting 500 x 32g no6 special game carts (£225/1000) for use on the pigeons when we can get on the rape after the phesant seasons over .

Just wondered how people have found them I've been told they are quite hard hitting also how do they compare to my normal pigeon special 30g no6 cart (£199/1000) that i use for decoying

All views would be apprieciated

I use that load most of the time for pigeon... Very good they are too.

Actually, the ones i've been getting are extreme game (32gm), but they're much cheaper at about £170 per 1000.

WOW! You're paying some for your cartridges Wiggum. 28grm no. 7's are adequate for pigeons and all you can use if shooting clays. Correct me if I am wrong you Clay boys.

 

£127/1000 down here they are.

i like coppins high pheasant 32g #6 , a good all rounder £45 a slab

yes 28g is the max load allowed in clay shooting, lower in olympic disciplines though. 24 for these. a bigger shot size is allowed in sporting, a 6 is ok i believe but no bigger. and i kill all my pigeons with a 28g clay cartridge, 7.5s. and they kill effectively at fair old ranges too

24gram is enough IMO

im useing 21 gram 7/12 for pigeon get on good with them. £109 1,000.

do you find them any different killing the pigeons mossy? well effectively they are meant to give you a tighter pattern so if you put it on em, why wouldnt it bring em down no problem. i was lucky in that my father had learned through years of experience that heavy loads and big shot was not needed for pigeon shooting. he made the switch to 24g around the mid 90s, not long when they came out really, and he swears they kill better than all the 32g 6s he shot in the 70s and 80s. its only my opinion but i believe we are brainwashed into thinking that 32g 6s or even bigger are needed for pigeons. just pick up a sporting gun mag and see a pigeon piece in it, it will recommend the heavy stuff all the way. i didnt have to learn that way thanks to my dad, who learned himself through experience

with the 21 grams carts, i have used 28 grams as well on pigeons, i fined both carts bring them down at good hights some dead in the air and some not,but 21 grams are good for the price,

I use them a lot and couldnt say a bad word about them. Pigeon specials are good too, but all express seem to work well in my AYA :blink:

Been using Eley Hi-Flyer 32gm 6s recently found them to be really good. Seemed like less recoil then the 32gm Rio I was using. I switched because they were a good price for a fibre wad and I have now decided that fibre is the way forward.
