affinity121 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi All, I cannot get hold of any Black Gold 32g 5's so am willing to try another high performance cartridge. Does anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) RC Sipe 32g 5s or if needed JK6 36g 4s Both do the job really well. Personally find the Black golds give more felt recoil than the Sipes Edited December 19, 2013 by archi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlistairB Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 If you cant get the black gold 32g 5's, can you get hold of 35g 5's? I used them a couple of weeks ago in Wales and they were awesome. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

affinity121 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 arent JK6 36g 4s plas wad? Cant get hold of anything Gamebore - I believe they are having supply issues due to manufacturing issues in France. I got 32g 6's but i think thats a tad small (although they equate to english 5's i suppose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I do not think that there are any really bad cartridges today. You will not go wrong with Express, Hull or Sipes or JK6 or even Eley ViP's. If you are anywhere near the Midlands I would be more than happy to supply you with a suitable cartridge including Black Golds in various configurations or other brands.

Unfortunately I am in North Yorkshire buddy - All black golds are sold out up here. Am i right in saying black gold 6's are the same as hull / express 5's?

affinity121 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I thought gamebore used continental shot sizes so 6 being english 5. Hull and express being UK brands will use uk sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 i worked out this was the STEEL shotsizes. not lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used them a couple of weeks ago in Wales and they were awesome. AB Got some from Pickering air guns on Saturday, abit pricey but I like them. I also tried a box of the 35g 5s today and I agree with the above post Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGD Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 As asked, how high are they? 32g 5's doesn't seems an especially heavy load for high birds. I would be looking at 36g 5's to maintain pattern density. How are you choked? I don't think there are poor cartridges, but those used on days when you shoot badly are not used again... for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 70+ yards you want to be a very efficient shot with Digweed like capabilities, but id use tight chokes and 38g/42g 3's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Are JK6 36g 4s only in plas wads ? JK6 is the name of the powder , several loaders use it some perhaps do a fibre option . What about Eley VIP extremes , 36g of 4s fibre wad I believe .

affinity121 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just done some calculations on Google maps looks more along the lines of 60 yards always hard to judge height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any recommendations? That is a long way.....get a sheet of card, draw the shape of a pheasant and have a few shots. put a new bit of paper behind the front target and see how you get on...If it was me I would get some RC40's and use 1/2 and full.

Alycidon Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Midweight O/U then 36gr of 4s or 3s through at a tight choke. Lighter gun then reduce the shot load but you would be best advised to go with a sporting configeration gun rather than a light game gun. Heavy loads and light guns do not make happy bedfellows.
