High Pheasant Loads


Recommended Posts

Just done some calculations on Google maps looks more along the lines of 60 yards always hard to judge height.

Easy way to judge high birds drive to your nearest electric pylon stand far enough back that you feel you could kill a bird sat on the very top (not the cables)

Most pylons are 120 feet high your gun angle will be between 60 to80 degrees

That should give you 50 yards

Hope this helps on height estimation

Cartridges are one of the few things the UK still manufactures, so whatever you chose, please buy a British made cartridge. Hull and Gamebore are both manufactured in Hull and you would not go far wrong with either.

I like eley for pheasant/partridge and eley or gamebore for all my pigeon and rabbit shooting.thought they were British made, correct me if im wrong?

I use 32 6's for everything. Clean kills to 50 yards all day long.

Eley are a very long standing UK cartridge manufacturer, but I am sure I read something about some of their product line now being loaded abroad??? Hope I am wrong.
