apache Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 You could always just buy something with 'pigeon' in the name See what you can get locally at a decent price. 30g of number 6 will do for a lot of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigwallet Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 the best cartridge by far is the one which you have the most hits with this thread is like "how long is a piece of string" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 28 of 7.5 for stubble and then 30g of 6 for roost and flight line shooting. all my stubble kills are within 30 paces, if the birds dont come in and just skirt the pattern then i dont shoot at it. why scare it when it might decoy better next week. thats my thought anyway.
