EdSolomons Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Nothing wrong with them, massive overkill for 95% of the pigeons you will raise a gun to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispti Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 has anybody tryed gamebore pigeon extream carts ? how good are that and what sort of price ? They are about £270 a 1000. A bit ott for pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 some one just watch Fieldsports Britain indeed there is no finer demonstration that if they aren't working its nothing to do with the cartridges its the fact you are pointing them in the wrong place. Nice clouds of feathers and clean kills at 60-70 yards made for fantastic viewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 A bit pricy,but an excellent hard hitting cartridge which really comes into its own on armour plated crows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Personally I would stick to the cheaper Clear pigeon in 30gram 6`s, a dam fin cartridge that me and my farther have used for a while now with great results on, pigeon, crow, pheasant, rabbit and duck....From hides, driven, walking and roost shooting ! Always in fibre to keep land owners happy ! ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Matt They are ok, I much prefer a 28g 5 load for all my shooting, (less wildfowl) won't mince anything close and extremely efficient on the rangey stuff.

soulboy1957 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 They are all I use for roosting/flighting especially in the current windy weather. I don't mind spending a bit more for the kind of performance they give,they do bring them down!. I suppose I could use a clay/cheaper shell and save 5p a bang but not really my idea of enjoying my shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildtrax Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 always use pigeon extrems for roost shooting there very punchy in an o/u but ok in a semi auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumbrian shooter Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Sorry to jump the post guys but i have a few rottweil 36 g specials in no5s, ive got a driven day coming up on sat probably some hi bird but also a few partridge, if i opene my chokes to say skeet and quarter am i still likely to mince birds at 30 yards for example or will i just end up with a fuller patern and produce better kills, sounds daft but it will be my first driven day and realy dont want to look a pr@t atb c.s Edited December 15, 2012 by cumbrian shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortmagnum999 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 In my opinion,if you can afford to spend £270 a thousand on pigeon shells you've got too much money! Digweed is a top shot, no doubt he makes use of them but also worth remembering that he gets them for nowt! 30/32 grm 6's are any amount enough.

Guest cookoff013 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Not another , there are so many that shoot themselves in the foot on here its unreal , prepare for the back tracking !! happens a million times on here. i just dont understand why people either keep their mouth shut, or just use non toxic cartridges. i was in a shop a few years ago, and a customer came in and asked for a cartridge for shooting duck. shop keeper handed over 36g #5 lead loads. i pointed out that it is illegal to shoot wildfowl with lead, and i was promptly told to "*******" and "what the * do you know?" i dont want the guy getting prosecuted over something silly. now its actually cheaper to keep on getting caught, comparitively to the very expensive nontoxics. the most i`ve ever heard anyone being charged was £100 for not using nontoxic shot. thats about 100 shells. how embarrassing to get caught shooting lead at wildfowl.

Not so cheaper when they end up banning lead altogether as that is whats coming next. As far as I am aware there has been only one prosecution for use of lead on wildfowl and that was only because they were doubling up on the charge against the guy of shooting a mute swan- protected species as well as using lead as it is classed as wildfowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
