fenboy Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Any 30-32 gram 6 or 6.5 shot would be a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Goodshot Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 32 gr 5s hit em hard and as you become more confident and proficient you will take pigeon at longer ranges... you can start with 7s and 6s but a good steady average load would be a 5, there isnt that many less lead pellets to make that much difference, but with 32gm a 5 shot you get in my opinion less pigeons clipped and more in the bag.... Clear pigeon 32gm 5s The Colonel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler325 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 A good 32g 6/5's will do the job nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shot these in fibre wad and they do the business. Eley's worked pretty well too. Buy a few boxes of each and see which flavour you like.
