Hi mate. Do you have a link for these RC2 cartridges by any chance ?.I can't seem to find anything on the web myself,not in a No6 anyway.

M.I.A Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I too cant find anything But i can tell you a bit more about them: There a 70mm pale blue cart, 28g No6 Shot, Recoil is mild. There very punchy and drop anything if your pointing in the right direction I use them for: Pigeons, Crows, Rabbits, Pheasant. Really are a good cart, im going to the shop today to pick up some 7.5 shot to see how i get on with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm using up Supreme Game 34g No5 fibres. A great cartridge that patterns really well in my semi but probably overkill. I think my run of pricked birds at the beginning of the year was poor technique, so I'll be going back to No6 this winter and concentrating on picking my shots better.

Alycidon Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Came back to Eley a few years ago after maybe 20 years away as they were significantly cheaper than my previous favourite Hull High Pheasant. Cartridge of choice for my O/U is the Grand Prix High Pheasant 30gr, for my lightweight SBS game gun then Eley Impax. I borrowed few of those 32gr Sipe to see how they went, smooth to shoot but different speed to what I am used to so kills to carts was not good, one runner and 4 or 5 dead in the air for about 10 from memory.
