chunkyed Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I use Eley HB pigeon. These are 32g 6.5s. They seem to do the job alright. Also i have used number 5s and 6s and there all about as good as each other. I payed £60 for 250 Eley's last week. So not a bad price either :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 for the most part, it is usually cheapest to check your locals. One will normally have a box of something for ~4 quid a box. That is the going rate here for 30-32 g 6's. Any of the major companies pigeon cartridges will do just fine. stick to 28-32 gr of #6 and you won't be wrong. thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a slab - 250 opened box of Eley HB Pigeon - 32g, 6 1/2 Shot in plastic wad that are collecting dust and hardly likely to be used anytime soon as only bought to run new semi auto in. Was thinking of putting them on here for sale - PM me to discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
