Topgunners Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I use ROTTWEIL 36 gram 6.5 and you can see by the BIG bags we have they are the dog's nuts. "Pillow cases", and at good ranges. Stone dead. Get on 'em. Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hill billy Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 rotwel are in a bit of a short supply round here so i stick with express super game 32g 5s and 6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexer Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I also shoot rotties at the moment 30 HV MKII's but at the end of the day if you put the shot string from any fired cartridge in the correct place you are going to kill the bird. But if a particular cartridge, gun, choke combination gives you greater confidence in your kills then great. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redthunder Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 This is the result after using Rotweill special 32 no 6 they smash pidgeons and crows easy out to 55 yards "pillow cases is right". This bag is my mate and me from last summer on a farm in Porthcawl South Wales sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 gamebore clear pigeon 32g 6's Wicked cartridge these, and not too expensive. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browningstalker10g Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 i personaly use lyalvale super game 32g no5 with a full choke for ground game but providing your a half decent shot will handle that what flys aswell but is less forgiving than a more open choke , i find that this is a good alrounder and cycles well in al my semi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielsonson Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Interestingly not one Hull or Eley cartridge, I must say I do like Gamebores! trusty Blue Diamond 28g 8 kicks a pretty deadly punch DB :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just to even it up a bit, I use Eley HB Pigeon, 32g, 6.5s. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Interestingly not one Hull or Eley cartridge, I must say I do like Gamebores! trusty Blue Diamond 28g 8 kicks a pretty deadly punch DB I had some blue diamond, i found that many birds kept flying on and dropping meters away because of the diamond shot in them, i only rate them for clays. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude9012 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 im sticking with game bore size 6 a nice realible cartridge cheers luke :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 99 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I have been using hull soverign fitasc 28g 7s and would recomend these, although they are a clay cartaridge they are one of the best in my opinion with open chokes i have consistiantly killed pigeons at silly ranges over 35 yards. they are expensive and you pay about £135 for 1000 but its worth having a go with them.
