Kent velocity

[leeboy]

I went out to buy some shells today, I generally shoot Clear pigeon which I find to be excellent, quite cheap and hard hitting and I have confidence in them.

 

But the gunshop didn't stock them or my second fave Hull special pigeon. I ended up buying 250 Kent Velocity

#6 30gm. I've never heard of these but the geezer in the shop said that these were basically the same cartridge as the clear pigeon.

 

They were cheap, only £30. for 250. I'm thinking perhaps I should of spent some more money. Hopefully they will be fine, but I haven't had a chance to try them yet.

 

 

Anyone used these before ? are they any good or do you get what you pay for ?

I use Kent's regularly - 6 32g's I found them to be a good cartridge. I've shot a few of them and they are £115 per 1000. never had a misfire. It's pretty much all I use now. :(

tis the only shell i use in comps, the general purpose diamond shot for all other, run thousands and thousands of em, had a few non-starters ,cant call them miss fires they dont fire at all, usualy the pilot hole in the primer is closed off, your going to get a few in the amount i use, over all a great shell and very consistant.

I tried them out yesterday on crows on thier way to a big roost. They do seem to do the biz. A found them to be a little stiffer recoil wise but they hit hard.

 

if the weather permits I'm shooting crows on an out door pig unit tomorrow and I anticipate shooting 100+ carts. Should be enough of a test and if thay do as well as the clear pigeon then I may well stick with them.
