dazlindazza Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I've recently been considering getting a .410 and I see there are quite a few hushpower's around. I've not really had any dealings with hushpower guns before, but my question is can you use standard cartridges in them or do they only take special cartridges for hushpower which I'm guessing would probably be more expensive. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 they can take any cartridges so long as chamber size is right i have a 410 hushpower i find hull 11gram 6 s the quietest followed by lyvale 14gram 6s i have some 3" subs and find them louder than the hull and lyvale colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essex Keeper Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 You can use any cart but only sub sonics if you want the gun to ' hushpower' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HW682 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 The manufacturer used to recommend fibre wads only, as there was a worry about plaswads getting caught and causing an obstruction. I know they were considering relaxing this advice, not sure how it stands at the moment (I just use fibre still). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) You can use any cart but only sub sonics if you want the gun to ' hushpower' That's not strictly true lyalvale 2.5" are as quiet/quieter than eley 3" subsonics, apparently they run at about 1087fps even though they should be 1300. I always used them in my old baikal hushpower and found extremely quiet, better than the 3" subs. Although I've recently got a pedretti hushpower and eley's are stupidly quiet through it, got 250 with it so not tried any others through it yet.
