EdSolomons Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Use your clay shells mate, ounce of 7.5 from whoever will fold them up fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike525steel Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why is 32 gram becoming the norm for game now. A 28 gram 6 is plenty. A 5 if it's getting a bit rangey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 If you want cheap Kent velocity 28g 7.5 are uk 7 shot perfect for partridge, expensive black gold clay carts in 28g take your pick of shot size sure they do 6.5&7 up.Personally think for partridges and other small game birds game carts are overpriced for the same loads as clay carts,especially when from the same range and manufacturer. Hope whatever you choose you have a cracking day. ATB figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlagUp Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi, first post for me. I'm no expert but have always used 6 30g or 32g and even shove in a couple of 5s at a drive if they're high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hull high pheasant 30g 7s my favourite for partridge.This time of year though as likely to get mix with pheasant in drives usually end up using 6s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazsl Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 eley impax no 6 or 7 they only make them fibre great for all round shooting especially partridge and woodcock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 28g 7.5s if it's def partridge only, if there are pheasants in the drive 30g 6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
