clayslayer Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Eley vip or superb best cartridges on the market not cheap but you get what you pay for Funny most shooters will pay £3000 to £7000 for a gun then shoot a budget cartridge.

bedwards1966 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The cheapest. I'm not being funny, but I've not really noticed any real difference between carts. I once found some that seemed to kick me, other than that I find them to all go bang to hit the target if they're pointed in the right place. Am I the only one to have no preference?

pigeon pete Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 If I was asked a few months ago I would have said Winchester GB 30 gram 6.5 for pigeon , but I have been using Hull superfast 29gram 6 and find them devastating on the pigeon out to a very good range and the bonus is they are very cheap compared to the winchester. thanks for this post ,my bro in law has just go a slab for £35 and hes got chance of loads more,but there 7s ,will give the a go and see ,might be ok for deeks ?
