walt1980 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Just picked up a 20 gauge hatsan semi and never had a 20 before, what do people recommend for shooting pigeons? Mainly goin to be decoying but get some flightline birds higher as well! Cheers peeps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrymallard Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 RC32. 32g 5's are a great all round cartridge and will be good for flighting and decoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've found an ounce of sixes is plenty, better still in a plastic shotcup to hold the pattern together a bit better for those longer range shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I use 28g happily in my 20g 6`s eley Hi-flyers ! But prefer express when I can get them as they seem to cleaner burning and cycle better ! ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Express super twenty's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Brian Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Eley Grand Prix 25g 6's in fibre wad went very well through my Wife's Webley and Scot 820. All cycled fine and brought down the pigeons very well (up to 40yd going away birds) when I finally started pointing the thing in the right direction. I think that was through 1/2 choke but couldn't say for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I use gamebore traditional game 28g no5's in my 20b but 28g of 6's are good too. I wouldn't go more than 28g's in a 20b for decoying though as it just defeats the point of using a 20b. I'm gonna try 28g 7's next time I stock up.

Used heavier loads but if you're going that way it's probably better to use a 12 bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
