kyska Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 We're using express 6/30gr at the minute, doing the trick nicely. Incindently I'm using 6 28g through the 20b and doing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyR Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hull Special Pigeon 32g 6's in Fibre or Gamebore Clear Pigeon. I would say the Hull are softer on the shoulder but either through a semi are fine. I would suggest 5s if you are taking them way out or on high flightlines.
