Dodgemball Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm roost shooting throughout Febuary and because I use an semi auto I would like a cartridge I can find once it has been ejected. Last season I shot green cartridges and missed birds coming over me as I was looking for my spent cartridges. Could anyone please recommend a suitable cartridge that would be easy to pick up like ones in red. I usually shoot 30 or 32gm #6's and they must be 70mm to cycle in auto.

Bobbo. Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 You can always get a magnet on a stick if stuck DB, they use them at clay pidgeon clubs to good effect. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Put a piece of dayglo tape round them. Or a piece of string with the other end tied to your belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Or a piece of string with the other end tied to your belt You should have thought about that, if you use elastic instead of string, they bounce back into your pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplex Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Hull Pigeon Special are red, 70mm too. RC Sipe is a good cart, 70mm and easier to find than the red Hull's i'd say....but more expensive! Edited February 3, 2010 by ziplex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerseaDavid Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) The Eley HB are a great cartridge but they are not 70mm they are 67mm so I am not sure if they would work with your auto if it can only use 70mm but they work well in both of my autos Hull's Special pigeon are a great cartridge and work well NobelSport - Velox 32Gr are red and are a great cartridge too GameBore's Super Game are red (30 Gr) Eley Crown Squires used to be red but I have seen white ones so not sure if it has changed? What about white cartridges? Clear Pigeons are a good cartridge Express Super Game Kent Velocity GameBore Extreme Pigeon Express Competition and Game (high Velocity) These are all 70mm 32 Gram 6 shot catridges Edited February 4, 2010 by MerseaDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
