wymberley Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 If you want HP then again gamebore mamouth , Eley lightning is very good , Remington is also very good but expensive at £25 odd quid a box. Are these suitable for pigeon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Are these suitable for pigeon? Yes but overkill. The eley do come in a 32gram load though Edited February 15, 2014 by Big Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Are these suitable for pigeon? The Eley lightning are made in a 5 shot I believe as well as a 3 and 1 , they are a 3" shell though and come in at about £8-£9 a box of 25 , they will certainly kill pigeon very well But as Mat says would be a little overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony G Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Talking of Remington i was at the shooting show yesterday and they have Nitro steel now out in 32gram 4's Supposedly the same speeds as the original ones but not buffered £6 a box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshiretaxidermy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Whats the best in steel .. size wise/price/availabilty etc 28g 7s in steel are around £43 / 250 for Clever Mirage, and £45 for gamebore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippylawkid Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've used a variety in the past 12 months: Eley HB Pigeon 32g 6.5 - I though these were excellent, hard hitting without too much recoil. Proper Cartridges 32g No5 For roosting mainly. VERY hard hitting but huge recoil, wouldn't fancy a big day using these. Gamebore Black Gold 30g 6 - Brilliant - You pay for quality and they are superb. Gamebore Clear Pigeon 30g 6 - Decent enough, no frills. However, it doesn't matter a jot what cartridge you use if you don't point the gun in the right direction! Having read the other posts I must try to get some of these Superfasts!
