fieldwanderer Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Can someone please recommend some 12g cart's for me? I've been using r/c competition 28g 6s but I don't like them, I don't seem to hit much with them. My last slab were rio 30g 6s and I got on a lot better with them. What I'm after is as cheap as possible 32g 5-6-6.5 or possibly 7s, I know they're just getting more and more expensive but any good cheap 12g pigeon cart's will do.

MC Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I use Express Super Game 32gr no. 6. I find them a great cartridge. I have also been impressed with RC Titano 31gr 6's, they seem to hit hard at decent ranges and aren't to expensive. Eley HB Pigeon is always a favourite in a 6.5 as well. I do tend to stay clear of Gamebore cartridges as I always seem to end up with a bruised cheek. Nothing else does it only Gamebore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Kent Velocity 30gm or 32gm 6's are pretty cheap and so are Lylavale in same sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 handloading could be cheaper. but how effective they`d be. you can get some fast and cheap loads. helarco wads (plastic). i`ll try and price some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldwanderer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks fellas, think my last slab (the r/c's) cost me £44 but I've been asking for "the cheapest cart's you've got that'll do for pigeon" I'll have a look at just cartridges though, haven't been on there before though I've heard them mentioned a fair bit. It's worth adding most of my shooting is as per my name on here; just a wander round and see what I can get (other methods don't seem to work very well apart from in the summer).

fieldwanderer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Any opinions on justcart's extreme game 30g 5's? They've got them at a half decent price but, being 5's there's only going to be about the same number of shot in the air as I'm getting now with 28g 6s (or so i'd guess anyway)? Saying that, I had som rottweil 30g 6s (uk 5) last summer and they were the best cart's I've ever bought! (unless you had a pigeon at 20yds or less - made a bit of a mess!)
