colin lad Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 just about any cartridge from 28 to 32 grams of 6s or 7s would do the job just fine so long as you do your bit and put it in the right place assuming your talking about 12g i like clear pigeon 32g 6s i also have some rotwiel tigers 32g 6s both work for me colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus94 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I would say clear pigeon 32g 6s. I suppose anything really as long as you shoot in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree not massively expensive and a good all round cartridge. Also I did try hull 29g 6s super fast a bit cheaper but also very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza9t9 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I use hull super fast 29. I'm on my phone so It does not tell me what part of the country you are in. But I got mine from Redbeck shooting supplies in crofton, wakefield Very reasonable prices and they are all the same whether you buy 250 or 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is presuming our local supplier is unable to get them, he does not have them listed though. Thanks again, W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breeze Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Saga 30g plastic wad in 5 shot. Use these for everything and love them. £52 for 250. Don't like the saga fibre wad cartridges for some reason? Never had any feed problems in my Benelli m2 Edited February 5, 2014 by breeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezza1986 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have got a Berretta Urika 2 and have run fiocchi top one's in 28g 7's to saga 32 g 6 's and not missed a beat. I find pigeons that are flighting/rosting I use fiocchi sporting pigeon european 6 (UK 5 1/5) but decoying eley pigeon 6 1/2 uk. All shot size and load depends on quarry and hunting situation. Get to use plastic or fibre wad. Plastic do pattern better but use fibre when needed. Pattern your gun is the best way to find out as all guns, cartridge, choke and range have different results. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
