Chard Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Has anyone heard of or used Proper Cartridges? Been offered some for £166 per 1000, being 30gm 6 shot. Beretta and NickyT use them on the clays, but I don't know what their pigeon cartridges are like. Should be good if the clay versions are anything to go by. They seem to be very low recoil though, so I suppose it would depend if your gun likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinw Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Using a standard silver pigeon, so I think the recoil shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I use their Proper Pigeon 30g 6's for Pigeons / Pheasants, and also have their 32g 5's - Snipes (copies of RC's Sipe High Pheasant Cartridge) for high birds. They are a great load and made in the UK! cheers Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Has anyone heard of or used Proper Cartridges? Been offered some for £166 per 1000, being 30gm 6 shot. proper pigeon are 5.5 they are cracking carts, as are litle devils for clays, george has put his prices up recently so if you can get proper pigeon for £166 BUY them, thats about what I would pay the man direct.

Floating Chamber Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I thought they'd gone to the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I thought they'd gone to the wall. I hope he hasn't it was a one man operation and he is a "colourfull character", he spent a fortune on the reloading equipment, good carts as well, but if he has given up (cost of lead?) it would be a shame, I liked shooting clays with his little devils they suited me well, and using his proper pigeon you felt you could not miss? I only stopped buying them when I started to make my own carts. KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
