pro keeper Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Any of you chaps used the above? i shot 1000s of the 30/32g in the past and went on to rc sipe & black game when they stopped making them but i got these to try and for the money i am pleased, i couldnt tell they were only 29g out of my 32" browning with 1/4 and half choke killed well even on crows!! i wont be shooting sipe or black game at pigeons or rooks now, and about £100 off a 1000 than what ive been paying!!! all the powder burnt out clean in the shell, alittle ****ty down the barrel but came out ok. i will say i shot well with the old 30/32g velocity and alot of people didnt like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr williamson Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Used some on sunday 51 crows i think that speaks for itself! 178 a 1000 at just cartridges blue case 29grm 6s kent velocity hv pigeon. Not a bad shell at all. I was abit wary of them only being 29grm but they killed well enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Bought a 1000 from Just Carts a little while ago - they are nearly all gone. I will be off to JC for another 1000 (come pay day) - used them on pigeons and blackies with good results (if I pointed the gun straight).

unclestuffy Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I tried them too, I think they are slightly faster (so took a bit of re-adjusting on lead) but certainly have the hitting power to bring the pigeons down with just the 29 g's. I would use them again without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried them too, I think they are slightly faster (so took a bit of re-adjusting on lead) but certainly have the hitting power to bring the pigeons down with just the 29 g's. I would use them again without a doubt. They would not have been significantly faster than any other cartridge so as to require a change in lead.

unclestuffy Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just my impression of the cartridge. I usually use clear pigeon but I don't know the speed of burn for either cartridge so it is not based on a scientific investigation. You may be right as the lack of lead could have been mental rather than physical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewluke Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 there are approx ten no.6 shot to a gram,so if you were using 30g cartidges you would have 10 less shot per cartridge,32g would be 30 less shot per cartridge if you are now using the 29g cartridges, andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr williamson Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 scratch that i tried these on pigeon and didnt rate there killing power. they worked for crows but pigeons laughed at me when they got a good whack right in the moddle of the pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
